Our research focuses on examining the efficacy of two local programs aimed at supporting trafficking victims, with a keen interest in understanding their impact on community awareness, their target demographic, and their strategies for preventing victims from falling back into trafficking situations. Moreover, we aim to critically analyze the portrayal of human trafficking in the media and its potential consequences. Our research methodology involved a comprehensive approach, including gathering victim data from the Ventura County Family Justice Center, conducting interviews with the Interface Children and Family Services\u2019 Human Trafficking Task Force, and conducting a thorough examination of local news coverage. Through our investigation, we have uncovered valuable insights into the utilization patterns of survivor services and the complex barriers preventing many victims from seeking assistance. Additionally, we have identified common concerns among survivors regarding seeking help, offering important glimpses into the intricate dynamics of human trafficking within our community. By sharing our findings, we aspire to foster a deeper understanding of this pressing issue among our peers and society at large. Beyond academic inquiry, our ultimate goal is to advocate for meaningful change and support efforts to combat human trafficking, thereby contributing to the creation of a safer and more informed community for all individuals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2024\/conference-schedule\/poster-presentations\/\">Poster Presentation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2024\/conference-schedule\/poster-presentations\/poster-presentations-session-1\/\">Session 1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9:15am\u00a0<strong>\u2013<\/strong>\u00a010:30am<br>Grand Salon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sociology<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jasmine Torres, Alondra Robles, &amp; Dr. Daniel Sandoval Human trafficking is an urgent issue in Ventura County today, driving our curiosity due to its disturbingly low reporting rates and the pervasive lack of awareness within our local community.
