The presenters will discuss a new approach to help combat human trafficking and sexual violence – the use of non-criminal state law interventions and their possible impact on human trafficking, the reporting of sexual crimes, and the safety of sex work. We will discuss the approach Montana has taken towards creating an alternative service response to sexual crimes, including legal changes to allow individuals engaging in sex work to report crimes, such as sexual assault or human trafficking, and access services without fear of prosecution. How this approach benefits sexual violence survivors and all stakeholders, including law enforcement and service providers, will be discussed. This presentation will also discuss the importance of recognizing and addressing sexual violence amongst rural Indigenous populations, exploring intersections with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons epidemic, as well as the disproportionate impact on trans-individuals.
