At CAFJC, we take a trauma-based and client-centered approach to human trafficking:
- Work with client to seek solutions to difficulties and address societal and institutional problems that hinder progress
- Protect right of clients to self-determination
- Be careful not to impose values or ideas on client
- Be knowledgeable and aware of position of power in society relative to client
