摘要
The extent to which services are available for and inclusive of diverse survivors of sex trafficking remains understudied. This content analysis in a U.S. Midwestern region designated as a hub explores the availability of sex trafficking-specific organizations and perceived inclusivity of organizations regarding diverse identities (including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, or Queer [LGBTQ]+ and racial/ethnic groups). 186 regional organizations were analyzed, of which only 7 were trafficking specific. Of nontrafficking organizations (n = 179), less than 12% (n = 21) stated that they provided services to individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, 6% (n = 10) included LGBTQ+ symbols/language, 36% (n = 65) featured perceived People of Color (POC). Lack of inclusive language, photos, and symbols may contribute to trafficking survivors who identify as POC, English language learners, or as LGBTQ+ feeling as though services do not apply to them. Implications are discussed.
