This page of instructional resources can be used to improve the quality of healthcare that trafficked persons receive in emergency departments. Emergency care practitioners are one of the few groups of people on the frontline, able to facilitate trafficked persons leaving their situation. With the knowledge of how trafficked persons may present, and the proper treatment and services available for them, practitioners can increase the number of safe opportunities for trafficked persons to receive relevant care, and/or leave unsafe living conditions.
