The following is an interview with one of our members Yuri Guerrero who is a survivor of labor trafficking and has been a survivor advocate for over 3 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you choose to get involved in the anti-trafficking movement?<\/b><\/p>\n

As a survivor of severe labor human trafficking, where all human rights are violated, I feel a huge desire to be a voice for victims and survivors. This includes being a bridge to empower our communities, professionals, and organizations against any kind of human trafficking<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What issues areas are you most passionate about as an advocate?<\/b><\/p>\n

Prevention, awareness, and education in our communities. There is a need for better services and closing gaps for survivors in our systems. I am also passionate about partnerships with professionals and organizations that fight any kind of human trafficking.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What training or organizations were most helpful to you when you started as an advocate?<\/b><\/p>\n

Mosaic Family Services in the Dallas area- They welcome us [trafficking survivors] and empower us from victims to survivors & advocates. They also connected us to other organizations, like FNUSA, NTCAHT, NHTTAC, and more.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

How do you think anti-trafficking professionals can be better partners with survivors who are working on these issues?<\/b><\/p>\n

Survivors are the humans that went through the despicable crime of violation of human rights & slavery –<\/span><\/i>We survive<\/i><\/b>! We know by lived experience, and we are key to partnering with professionals to apply all their academic knowledge with empathic and realistic approaches. These approaches can make a real impact preventing more victims, for better survivors services, to engage our communities and create and better laws against any kind of human trafficking.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What do you see as your greatest accomplishment or impact in your advocacy work?<\/b><\/p>\n

Being a voice for survivors, advocating for prevention, empowering our communities to take action in fighting against human trafficking. We all play a role.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
