Insights from the Field

Thank you for your interest in sharing policies, practices, and initiatives that have strengthened responses to child sex trafficking survivors in your state.

We are collecting this information as a supplement to the 2026 Just Like Me Report Cards and Policymaker’s Guides. While we will not be vetting, analyzing, or grading the information submitted through this project, it will be incorporated as complementary narrative in your state’s Analysis Report. This narrative will supplement the statutory analysis and provide a more complete picture of your state’s response to child sex trafficking from the perspective of field experts. We will collect feedback on your state’s statutory analysis through a separate vettor review process this fall.

Because this information is intended to complement the statutory analysis, we are asking you to share highlights that correspond to the same framework we use to evaluate state laws. The difference is that the information collected through this form should focus on accomplishments, challenges, policies, practices, and initiatives that exist outside of state statute.

Background information on the purpose and importance of each of the policy goals can be found in the related issue brief available at: https://reportcards.sharedhope.org/policymakers-guide/.

You may share information on as many policy goals as you like. If you are unable to complete this form at one time, you may save your feedback and resume at a later date using the “Save and Continue Later” option found at the bottom of the form. Your feedback will not be sent until you click “Submit.” You may also submit your feedback directly to Policy@sharedhope.org. All feedback must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, August 31, 2026. Notably, we reserve the right to exclude highlights that do not align with the underlying purpose of the respective policy goal.

If you experience issues with the form, please contact Shared Hope’s Policy Team at Policy@sharedhope.org or call 202-963-2601
