Anti-racism & Anti-oppression in Practice

This lesson focuses on practical strategies for integrating anti-racism and anti-oppression into anti-trafficking work. Students will examine how systemic racism and oppression contribute to the disproportionate impact of trafficking on marginalized communities, particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latina women. 

The lesson emphasizes the importance of understanding and dismantling oppressive systems that perpetuate inequality in both the trafficking experience and access to services. Through case studies and actionable frameworks, students will learn how to apply anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches in their work, ensuring that interventions are inclusive, equitable, and centered on the needs of the most affected communities.
