What it reported doing in 2012

Awareness/education program-the issue of human trafficking is new in definition and few people understand what it is and who it effects. There are 10 types of human trafficking in two major divisions that victimize 6 categories of individuals. Understanding the scope of the problem is vital for our society if we ever plan to end it. During 2012 we conducted 230 presentations in 24 different cities throughout Oklahoma helping to educate over 8,750 individuals including 3,235 community professionals and 248 law enforcement officers. There are a number of elements to this program that include (continued) the following: (a)human trafficking awareness 101 presentations to organizations, agencies, groups, churches and schools that provide an understanding about the global and local issues of human exploitation revealing the various types of human trafficking, the vulnerable populations that are targeted by traffickers and recruiters, and the "red-flag" indicators to look for in identifying individuals that are possible victims of this crime. (b)awareness/training presentations to state and local agencies that provide direct services to oklahomans; that include all of the awareness 101 information and also provide critical information on the various types of traffickers and recruiters, the psychological and traumatic issues that victim/survivors have associated with this type of abuse, and what is needed for our professional community to address their needs. (c)certified training workshops for law enforcement officers and community professionals; that include the awareness and professional training programs as well as specific case building training for law enforcement and legal policy components for prosecutors in dealing with the crime of human trafficking. (d)annual human trafficking conference is open to all professional, civic and community individuals with general sessions and stakeholder specific workshops to provide ongoing training from local and national experts in this field. This year we joined with the partners conference to reach over 550 professional attendees. (e)speakers bureau is comprised of individuals that become certified through our "train the trainer" workshops to present the current data on human trafficking to various communities. These workshops are held three times per year in tulsa and Oklahoma city. (f)printed materials that include handouts, booklets, training manuals, brochures, posters, flyers, cards, and crisis stickers that are provided free of charge at all of our awareness and training events. Most are provided in english and spanish and others in mandarin, russian, and vietnamese. Community action teams - it is not enough to be concerned about the problem of modern slavery, and wishing it would go away will not end it. We must join together in communities with an organized pro-active approach to see real impact locally. Individuals from all sectors of our community coming together to take action in unified teams with goals and an organized plan will accomplish the best results. A.monthly volunteer meeting - this is for the community action teams to meet with volunteers and new comers to communicate the local issues and provide opportunities for volunteers to get involved in local programs and upcoming events. B.awareness & education - much of what continues to be an obstacle to ending human trafficking is ignorance and lack of understanding. Helping others to understand is key to real and lasting change. Individuals that complete the "train the trainer" workshop present locally to groups, schools and churches. C.multi-disciplined task force or group - some communities already have a multi-discipline group that can incorporate the issues of human trafficking into their regular activities. Oath representatives help to educate these teams about the types of local human trafficking issues and assist them with cases. If no such group is in place, oath works to try and establish such a group locally to
