The City of Chicago launched a citywide plan to address gender-based violence (GBV) and human trafficking. As part of the overall violence reduction strategy, this plan seeks to build the muscle within City government to understand and address GBV and human trafficking; design a citywide ecosystem that adequately prevents, responds, and intervenes in cases of GBV and human trafficking in trauma-informed and culturally specific ways; and invest in critical services to stabilize survivors and increase safety.  Gender-based violence occurs in homes, on the streets, in workplaces, and intended safe places such as schools, medical facilities, and places of faith. People of color, LGBTQIA+, indigenous populations, people with disabilities, and immigrants are disproportionately impacted by gender-based violence and human trafficking. In 2020, the Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline, which receives funding from the Chicago Department of Family & Support Services, received 28,292 calls, a 16 percent increase from 2019. Of these calls, 39 percent came from Chicago.  This strategy will be guided by data and best practices, utilizing research and evaluation as key tools to drive implementation of the strategies outlined in the plan. Finally, the plan in its entirety, with targeted efforts to raise awareness about these issues, will shift cultural norms on what constitutes GBV, human trafficking, and more importantly, its acceptability.
