Seeing the Whole Picture: A Conversation on Domestic Abuse, Coercive Control & Trafficking

​Human trafficking doesn't always look the way we imagine. For many survivors, exploitation begins at home—with a family member, an intimate partner, or someone who used love and trust as tools of control.

​In this fireside chat, Bonnie Rice of REACH and Leah Vejzovic of the Safe & Together Institute explore the critical intersections between domestic abuse, coercive control, and human trafficking—particularly familial and intimate partner trafficking.

​Together, they'll unpack how shared perpetrator tactics show up across these forms of abuse, what that means for how practitioners identify and respond, and how a perpetrator pattern–focused lens can strengthen advocacy and intervention across both fields.
