Everybody Matters: A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Support Services Available to Survivors of Human Trafficking in Central Kentucky

<p>This research is designed to identify service and capacity gaps that exist and need to be addressed in Central Kentucky to improve the provision of social services for survivors of human trafficking. Relying upon in-depth interviews with individuals from different organizations/agencies (e.g., social service providers, federal and local law enforcement agencies, human trafficking task forces) in Central Kentucky that work on human trafficking and with survivors, this research provides a comprehensive picture of the social services available to survivors of human trafficking, including the need for additional services. This research offers an analysis of the capacity gaps that exist, making it difficult for survivors of human trafficking to get the necessary protection, rehabilitation, recovery, and repatriation services needed. </p>
