Human Trafficking Webinars

2024 Webinars on Legislation
Breaking the Link Between Human Trafficking and Forced Migration

We have completed our three webinars co-hosted with the Alliance to End Human Trafficking featuring three topics key to reducing the threat of human trafficking to our migrant brothers and sisters.
Work for Asylum Seekers | Children's Court | Root Causes

Each webinar focused not only on a threat area, but also on common-sense, bipartisan bills that have a chance of passing this legislative session or next.
Below are links to watch the recorded webinars along with links to email Congress urging passage of these important pieces of legislation.

Work for Asylum Seekers

Asylum seekers in the U.S. are at risk of sex and labor trafficking when not allowed to find legal work denying them the ability to provide for their families.

Encourage Congress to fix this vulnerability and also to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic red tape by passing H.R. 1325, the Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act.

Children's Court

Unaccompanied migrant children are at risk of trafficking while winding their way through the labyrinthine U.S. immigration court system.

The Immigration Court Efficiency and Children’s Court Act, H.R. 6145 / S. 3178, would restructure the existing legal procedures and make it easier to identify children who have been trafficked or are at risk of being trafficked in the U.S.

Root Causes

Human traffickers thrive where vulnerability is high, where people are desperate, and their options are limited or nonexistent.  One way to cut the traffickers’ supply line is to eliminate root causes and help migrants remain in their home countries.

Watch our February webinar and learn about a key piece of legislation, the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2023 (H.R. 5856), that will provide systemic solutions and humanitarian assistance for food security, housing, employment, education and health care in local communities.
THANK YOU!
On February 13, the House of Representatives voted 414-11 to pass
H.R. 5856 to reduce root causes of forced migration & prevent human trafficking!

Thank you for your emails, calls, prayers. Now on to the Senate.
