Understanding the Trauma Response and Assisting Survivors of Human Trafficking in South Carolina
Description: According to American Nurse Today, “Outside of law enforcement, healthcare settings are among the few places where the lives of human trafficking victims may intersect with the rest of society’s.” Research has indicated that roughly 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders annually and about 80% of transnational victims are women and girls. The Eastern Carolina Coalition Against Human Trafficking designed a program to enlighten the Healthcare provider about the scope of trafficking, and to assist the provider in identifying the trauma-related symptoms commonly identified in patients Many legal aspects of this problem will be identified as well as measures that healthcare providers can take in the identification and assistance/referral of these victims. Main Objectives: Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to: 1. Define “Human Trafficking” 2. Describe three Common trauma-related symptoms. 3. Identify two reasons why it is important to consider developmental and cultural factors when working with trafficking victims. 4. Name four interviewing tips to keep in mind when working with trafficking survivors. 5. Name two ways that vicarious trauma can impact providers. 6. Describe the legal overview of trafficking. 7. Recognize “Indictors” that might warrant further investigation 8. Identify measures that healthcare providers can take in the identification and assistance/referral of victims. 9. Describe the “underground” nature of trafficking and how victims are forced into servitude. 10. Reiterate the American Nurses Association (ANA) House of Delegates resolutions related to Human Trafficking.

Congratulations to the award recipients and everyone nominated!  Amelia Earhart Fellow Naoko Yamazaki After hearing of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance in 1937, the Zonta Club of Bakersfield, California, USA suggested honoring the trailblazing Zontian with a scholarship that would further her deep interest in the science of aeronautics. In 1938, Zonta established the Amelia Earhart Fellowships. Few women were active in aeronautics, science or engineering at the time – no qualified applicants were even found in the first two years the Fellowship was offered. Yet Zontians did not doubt the success of such a scholarship program and faithfully supported it, instituting it as a loan (today an award) to women pursuing graduate education in the aerospace field. As of today, Zonta has awarded 1,227 Amelia Earhart Fellowships totaling US$7 million to women from 58 countries. On March 18, 2010, Amelia Earhart Fellow (1994-1995), Naoko Yamazaki, prepared to lift off from Kennedy Space Center for a two-week flight as a Japanese crew member of the Atlantis on 18 March 2010. During this important mission, the Atlantis carried equipment and materials for the International Space Station and Yamazaki was responsible for operating a robotic arm. Naoko Yamazaki (born December 27, 1970) is a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut, and the second Japanese woman to qualify as an astronau. The first was Chiaki Mukai who was named a Zonta International Honorary Member in 2000. Yamazaki joined NASA’s Astronaut Candidate Training in June 2004. Astronaut Candidate Training includes orientation briefings and tours, numerous scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in Shuttle and International Space Station systems, physiological training, T-38 flight training, and water and wilderness survival training. Successful completion of this initial training qualifies Yamazaki for various technical assignments within the Astronaut Office. We are very proud of Naoko and her story is just one of many of the successes of Zonta’s Amelia Earhart Fellows. Amelia Earhart Fellowship Fund provides financial assistance to women like Naoko Yamazaki who are pursuing PhD /doctoral degrees in aerospace-related science and engineering. The financial support provided by the Fellowships means these talented women can invest in state-of-the-art computers to conduct their research, purchase expensive books and resource materials, participate in specialized studies around the globe, and ultimately achieve their educational goals. AE Fellows have gone on to become astronauts, aerospace engineers, astronomers, professors, geologists, business owners, heads of companies, even the Secretary of the US Air Force. Many have attained positions that provide a platform for influencing policies that improve the lives of women everywhere in a profound manner. The Zonta Club of Charleston will honor and recognize, for the first event ever, individuals and organizations making a difference in lives of domestic violence victims. The First Annual Breaking the Silence Awards Gala will take place on January 22, 2011, starting at 6pm at the Harbour Club located in downtown Charleston. The key note speaker is Solicitor Scarlett Wilson. The event, hosted by the Zonta Club of Charleston, is benefiting Liza’s Lifeline of South Carolina that raises funds to assist domestic violence victims, and Zonta’s service projects. Winners of the First Annual Breaking the Silence Awards will be announced in the following categories: Best in Media, Best in Business, Best Volunteer and Best Professional. Liza’s Lifeline Person of the Year for lifelong achievement will be selected by the board of Liza’s Lifeline of South Carolina. “In 2006, South Carolina ranked number one nationally in the number of women killed by male intimate partners. Domestic violence has become a crisis in South Carolina. The office of Attorney General has named it the number one crime problem in our state. Zonta set out to create an annual award program that each year will recognize those who are putting their lives on the line and are truly devoted to making a difference in lives of domestic violence victims,” says Vladia Jurcova-Spencer, president of the Zonta Club of Charleston. “For some this involvement means risking their lives by answering domestic disturbance calls, others fight their battle in the court rooms. For most parts, these individuals are not recognized for their tireless work and we want to rectify that,” Jurcova-Spencer continues. “We also encourage business and organizations to step up and compete for honors.” Tickets are $75 per person and include the cocktail hour, dinner and award ceremony. Cocktail attire. To purchase tickets, please visit www.zontaofcharleston.com. For more information, please call 843-345-3275 or email info@zontaofcharleston.com.

The company will collect used cell phones and accessories at the event for its Hopeline project; these will be refurbished and donated to victims of domestic violence. Additional sponsors include Williams & Walsh, LLC, Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy, South Carolina Women Lawyers Association and the City of North Charleston. Williams & Walsh is proud to be a sponsor of Zonta’s Gala Event and is donating 5 tickets to local domestic violence advocates to thank them for their time and dedication to the community. As part of the Paint the Town Purple for Domestic Violence Awareness Night on November 6 with Stingrays, Verizon Wireless will collect used cell phones. Verizon Wireless organizes its cell phone drives for its Hopeline Program which donates phones to victims of domestic abuse. Your used cell phone and accessories can make a difference in lives of victims of domestic violence. The long-running HopeLine program collects no-longer-used wireless phones and equipment in any condition from any service provider. The used phones are either refurbished or recycled. With the funds raised from the sale of the refurbished phones, Verizon Wireless donates wireless phones and airtime to victims, and provides funding and other contributions to non-profit domestic violence shelters and prevention programs across the country. |
