Human Trafficking on Macro, Mezzo, and Micro levels should all be addressed. Human trafficking is a global problem that needs global solutions. Compromising national and economic security dismantles the welfare of individuals and communities everywhere. #WKUsocialworkHT
Treatment for human trafficking survivors when fighting complex trauma is necessary. The NASW code of ethics states that social workers respect a person's inherent dignity and worth. Creating an atmosphere of concern, not condemnation. #WKUsocialworkHT
In 2020 the NASW participated, and the Supreme Court recognized the worth of all workers. The LGBTQ community is still in need of many resources besides employment. Advocacy will never stop as long as discrimination is present. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
Women, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQIA+, immigrants, and the disabled have faced discriminatory actions. Social movements are a need to challenge institutional discrimination that restricts resources for populations not considered privileged. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
Throughout the United States, the aging population has increased. For social workers, this means advocating for housing disparities, identifying resources, and connecting the older adult community. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/BDRiQP3Ha4
Child Welfare Policy has a history and is currently evolving by creating safe spaces, informing communities, and strengthening the advocacy core. State and local governments are being pursued to produce the desired outcome. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@kellytapp9 Kelly,
Healthcare is a social problem for non-insured individuals, especially considering most minimum wage jobs that do not offer coverage. Those who meet the poverty guidelines are restricted to certain forms of healthcare that do not cover all forms of care.
@darby_potter4 Darby, a change can definitely be made concerning health insurance. If a single-payer healthcare system was implemented all American citizens will have coverage at a much lesser cost.
The United States has the most expensive healthcare in the world but is ranked 37th on measures and medical outcomes. Americans are not offered coverage by their employer and cannot pay for their own. Millions of Americans do not have health insurance. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
Awareness lets us identify, be involved, and increase the percentage of victims found that are being trafficked. NASW has formed Child Adolescent, and Young Adults (CAYA) to address this matter. #WKUsocialworkHT
Abolishment of Death Penalty Senate Bill 45. NASW upholds the Dignity and Worth of the Person. Social workers seek to amplify client opportunities for change and resolve conflicts. #WKUsiciolworkpolicy@KYHarperAngel
Behaviors, conversations, or employment may provide detailed information if someone is being trafficked. Pay attention! #WKUSocialWorkHT

Knowledge of human trafficking is part of the prevention. Being well-informed of the tactics used is a way to create a plan of action when noticed. Educate yourself and others. #WKUSocialWorkHT

The solution resides in making awareness a lifestyle among our communities. If you see something, say something! Community resources are available, and the NASW promotes services that recognize, evaluate, and assist victims. #WKUsocialworkHT
