Improving Trafficking Survivors' Experience Engaging with Media

Media are an important resource for the public and policymakers to learn about the issues of human trafficking. Survivors' voices are often missing from media coverage, however, and in some cases, survivors have reported negative interactions with journalists. This study surveys the experiences that survivors of human trafficking have had or want to have with media. Results will contribute to understandings about and improvements to media practices, and to develop training materials and other resources for survivors to be best-prepared to work with media as news sources and storytellers.
