Tell Your Senators to protect victims of Human trafficking !
"What’s the issue? Trafficking of people is a modern day scourge that afflicts millions of people, particularly women and children, around the world resulting in extreme forms of sexual exploitation and forced labor.
The TraffickingVictims Protection Act (TVPA) established the United States’ efforts and leadership to combat the multi‐billion dollar industry. Since then, the U.S.government has worked to prevent trafficking in persons; prosecute those who profit from it; and protect victims.
The Human Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act expired on September 30, 2011 and Congress must act to reauthorize it. If the bill does not pass, U.S. pressure on countries across the globe to combat modern‐day slavery will suffer.
What can you do? Contact your Senators and ask them to support
S. 1301, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.
