Addressing Needs of Male-Identified and LGBTQ+ populations
As communities develop responses to the needs of those sexually exploited/trafficked, much is needed still for male-identified and LGBTQ+ populations. Lack of identification of these populations results from marginalization and unresponsive systems.
Further, data indicates that LGBTQ+ populations are at high-risk for involvement in commercial sex, and male-identified face barriers due to gender norms around masculinity.
The Family Partnership’s PRIDE Program (Promoting Recovery, Independence, Dignity and Equality) partners with researchers and community members to refine their programming to meet the unique needs of these populations.
Participants will learn about the needs of these populations and how a program adapted their services through partnership and engaging voices from those with lived experience.
