Explore a distinguished paper presentation from USENIX Security '19 examining the computer security and privacy aspects of interactions between victim service providers (VSPs) and human trafficking survivors. Delve into the findings of a study based on 17 semi-structured interviews with VSP staff members and trafficking survivors, uncovering the role of technology in these interactions and associated security and privacy concerns. Learn about the delicate balance VSPs must maintain between building trust through client autonomy and guiding technology use to mitigate revictimization risks. Gain insights into concrete recommendations for computer security and privacy technologists aiming to collaborate with VSPs in supporting and empowering trafficking survivors.
