The U.S. Department of Defense, where I served for many years, first as an enlisted teenage sailor, and later as a Defense Department civilian, released a training toolkit for service chaplains to combat human trafficking.
In late December, President Joe Biden proclaimed January as
National Human Trafficking Prevention Month and urged every
American to learn how to identify signs of trafficking. The Defense Department
continues its efforts to prevent and eradicate this horrific crime.
Human trafficking deprives millions of
people worldwide of their freedom. Through innovative training and resources,
the Defense Department Combating Trafficking in Persons office focuses on
efforts to prevent human trafficking. CTIP offers training and awareness
resources to DOD's 3.4 million civilian and military personnel.
DOD CTIP Chaplains Training and Toolkit
Chaplains play a vital role in the fight
against human trafficking. Often, chaplains are the first responders to
victims, survivors, parents and other service members who have suffered because
of human trafficking. The new specialized CTIP chaplains' training and
companion toolkit focus on loss of belief, survivor's guilt, moral injury and
other spiritual issues related to human trafficking.
