SWAN Anti-Trafficking: Harming While Trying to Help

Video Guidebook & SWAN’s full multi-media Harms of Anti-Trafficking project can be viewed at https://www.swanvancouver.ca/harms-of…. ​ More and more people are learning about human trafficking and feel compelled to do something about it. Unfortunately, this desire to take action is not always expressed in productive ways. Some campaigns are ineffective. Some campaigns are harmful, and actually increase vulnerability to human trafficking. By raising awareness about the negative consequences of mainstream anti-trafficking campaigns, SWAN works with community to address the harms.
