In The Story of Foster Care vol. 1, audiences were invited into the intricate world of foster care as told by former foster youth, foster parents, and caseworkers. In this sequel work, viewers will learn from the perspectives of individuals who experienced both foster care and human trafficking, individuals who work at organizations supporting their healthy exit from trafficking, and from child-welfare professionals who witnessed the connections. This gallery is a collection of photos and stories that illustrate the foster care system’s connection to the world of human trafficking.
