Understanding and Addressing Sex Trafficking in our Community (UAST)

This series introduces a new, Oregon-specific introductory sex trafficking curriculum that builds awareness and gives community groups and service providers specific calls to action. The curriculum, titled Understanding and Addressing Sex Trafficking in our Community (UAST) includes stories from trafficking survivors through videos from The Life Story to highlight the risks, vulnerabilities, and impact of sex trafficking. Participants customize the curriculum based on their community’s efforts, the audience requesting the training, and the delivery method (in-person versus virtual). This includes a 90-minute presentation and facilitators guide, in both English and Spanish. 45-minute and 60-minute versions have also been developed and may be available upon request.
