Trafficking in persons is not a single event, but a process, the result of which is control of one human being by another for the purpose of exploitation. Group residential rehabilitative facilities, or "shelters,” for trafficked victims play a necessary part in a comprehensive effort to address human trafficking that includes prevention, protection, and prosecution. The essential services that shelters provide can help trafficking victims recover and move toward reintegration into society. It is important to emphasize that no two shelters are alike: location, size, cost, length of stay, and the population that the shelter serves differ from place to place and from shelter to shelter. |
