APA Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls
Mission
The Board for the Advancement of Psychology in the Public Interest (BAPPI) approved a request from the Committee on Women in Psychology (CWP) to establish an APA Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls.
The APA Task Force on Trafficking of Women and Girls will review the state of the literature of theory, research, and practice relevant to the trafficking of women and girls. This review will include definitions, nature, prevalence, psychological, physical, and social effects. Also included will be identification, prevention, intervention, and recommendations for future research, training, practice, and policy. The Task Force will produce a report with extensive literature citations that summarizes its findings.
