Good laws save lives. Policy stops human trafficking and human rights violations at the root.
Despite efforts over the past several decades, human trafficking continues to increase. Policy fills a critical gap to empower law enforcement, prosecutors and survivors through education to lawmakers who provide the laws and resources frontline responders need to prevent, protect and prosecute. We educate lawmakers about how to empower frontline responders and support survivors to strengthen anti-trafficking laws.
We educate lawmakers in order to increase the number of legislative champions, and we help lawmakers use their platform to educate the public.
Many governments fail to have adequate laws that prioritize human trafficking and effectively stop modern slavery. We work to change this.
Legislators can raise inquiries to other government agencies and organizations which provide oversight and services.
We specialize in facilitating comprehensive discussions on human trafficking and providing strategic connections and networking opportunities for members through virtual and in-person convenings. We also host policy discussions in Washington, D.C. and other major cities with legislators, civil society organizations, lived experience experts and other stakeholders on various aspects of stopping human trafficking through policy solutions. By intertwining the issue of human trafficking with other timely concerns, we enhance the depth and relevance of our discussions, ensuring a lasting impact on both policy and public awareness.
Each Working Group is comprised of legislators, academics, attorneys, civil society organizations, business leaders, and lived experience experts who examine and strategically address a specific aspect of human trafficking.
We strive to mobilize communities, foster cross-sectoral partnerships, and galvanize public support. Sign up for our newsletter to hear about opportunities for you to join our campaigns.
