The human rights violation of sex trafficking continues to occur in the United States at alarming rates. Although sex trafficking affects individuals across various demographic groups, this crime disproportionately affects children. Counselors who work with children and adolescents are uniquely positioned to identify, support, and advocate on behalf of sex trafficked youth who may experience barriers to emotional and physical wellness. Extant literature on counseling sex trafficking survivors remain scarce and illuminate the need for victim identification, trauma-informed interventions, and advocacy strategies that support the unique needs of child sex trafficking survivors. To address these disparities, this article describes victim identification techniques, outlines trauma-focused interventions for counseling sex trafficked youth, and presents advocacy strategies. The implications for counseling child sex trafficking survivors are illuminated through a case study.

儿童性交易：识别、咨询和倡导策略

在美国，对性交易的侵犯人权行为继续以惊人的速度发生。尽管性交易影响不同人口群体的个人，但这种犯罪对儿童的影响尤为严重。与儿童和青少年一起工作的辅导员具有独特的定位，可以代表可能在情感和身体健康方面遇到障碍的性贩运青少年识别、支持和倡导。现存的关于性交易幸存者咨询的文献仍然很少，并阐明了对受害者识别、创伤知情干预和支持儿童性交易幸存者独特需求的宣传策略的需求。为了解决这些差异，本文描述了受害者识别技术，概述了以创伤为重点的干预措施，用于咨询性贩运青少年，并提出宣传策略。通过案例研究阐明了咨询儿童性交易幸存者的意义。
