· Describe the unique needs of trafficked survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in rural communities.
· Highlight the benefits of collaborating with community-based organizations to address human trafficking in rural communities.
· Identify examples of existing cross-sector collaborative anti-trafficking models in rural North Dakota and Florida.
