Mass General, along with the Massachusetts Medical Society, is leading an effort to equip health care providers to identify and provide treatment to victims of human trafficking. The collaboration has resulted in a book with guidance to providers about physical indicators and a human rights-focused and trauma-informed approach for identifying trafficking victims. “Health care providers are some of the only people who come in contact with and are able to provide help for victims,” says Dr. Wendy Macias-Konstantopoulos, senior author of the book, medical director of Mass General’s Human Trafficking Initiative and chair of the medical society’s Committee on Violence Intervention and Prevention.
