January 20, 2016—Join an Online Discussion
Human Trafficking in Rural Communities


On January 20, 2016, at 2 p.m. (eastern time), the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) will present a Web Forum discussion with Kiricka Yarbough Smith and Kimber J. Nicoletti. This discussion will revolve around human trafficking in rural communities. A National Institute of Justice-sponsored study found that many service providers in rural areas lack training on serving victims of human trafficking (Newton, Mulcahy, and Martin, 2008). The goal of this session is to promote provider competency and consistency of services for victims of labor and sex trafficking in rural areas.

Kiricka Yarbough Smith is a consultant, trainer, and advocate for the safety and empowerment of women and children. She has experience in the areas of mental health, developmental disabilities, case management, and collaboration. Ms. Yarbough Smith provides training and technical assistance to service providers and resources and referrals to survivors of human trafficking. She has provided numerous trainings to law enforcement, prosecutors, service providers, and community- and faith-based groups through her work with the International Police Training Institute, the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, and the Children’s Advocacy Centers of North Carolina.

Ms. Yarbough Smith managed the human trafficking program for the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault and provided oversight for their OVC Services for Human Trafficking Victims grant for over 6 years. She currently serves as the Chair of the North Carolina Coalition Against Human Trafficking and consults as an investigator on the University of North Carolina’s School of Social Work’s 5-year project with the Administration for Children and Families to address trafficking in the child welfare system. Most recently, she has accepted the opportunity to consult on the North Carolina Council for Women’s human trafficking training and education grant.

Kimber J. Nicoletti, M.S.W., Director and Founder of Multicultural Efforts to End Sexual Assault at Purdue University, has been an advocate for Latina immigrant and farm worker communities for over 20 years. Ms. Nicoletti has 12 years of direct experience working with victims of human trafficking and trains others on conducting culturally relevant forensic interviews with Latina immigrant victims of human trafficking. Ms. Nicoletti serves as the Chair of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center’s Multilingual Access Project Committee. She also created and moderates Mujeres del Movimiento, a resource and support group for Latinas who work in violence prevention.

Ms. Nicoletti works with communities and organizations at the national, state, and local level to provide culturally relevant victim services. As a clinician, she has developed a successful model of sexual violence prevention for the migrant farm worker and Latina/o immigrant communities. Her experiences as a survivor and a bilingual therapist provide her with insight into barriers and challenges in creating culturally relevant services. Ms. Nicoletti has consulted with many organizations including Praxis International, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, Southern Poverty Law Center, California Rural Legal Assistance, and the U.S. Department of the Army. Ms. Nicoletti was honored as a 2013 Woman of Distinction by the YWCA of Greater Lafayette. She received an M.S.W. from Indiana University and a B.A. in Sociology from Purdue University.
