Frequently Asked Questions
The Dragonfly Home is certified by the Oklahoma Office of the Attorney General.
The state of Oklahoma requires direct service providers for victims of human trafficking to undergo a certification process. Direct service agencies must have specific policies and procedures in place that adhere to Title 75, Chapters 1 and 30 of the Oklahoma Administrative Code. Certified providers are granted certification, audited, and overseen in Oklahoma by the Oklahoma Office of the Attorney General.
The Dragonfly Home Staff are proud that our state provides accountability, oversight, and excellent standards of care for victims of human trafficking and those who provide direct care.
Victims of the crime of human trafficking deserve to receive the absolute highest standard of care. Without proper training, there is a high risk of well-meaning people doing further unintentional psychological and emotional harm to victims. Without proper security, victims are often still in danger even after exiting a human trafficking situation (potentially putting those serving them in danger as well).
Submitting to and abiding by the standards set by the Oklahoma Attorney General reduces risk of further harm to victims and promotes the best possible care for victims.

The term “victim” has legal implications within the criminal justice process and generally means an individual who suffered harm as a result of criminal conduct. “Victims” also have particular rights within the criminal justice process.
“Survivor” is a term used by many in the services field to recognize the strength it takes to continue on a journey toward healing in the aftermath of a traumatic experience.
