ACT NOW: Give Communities the Tools to Help Child Victims of Trafficking

Child victims of human trafficking need to be recognized and rescued. You can make sure they will be in just 10 minutes.

Safe Horizon supports the Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Human Trafficking Act, a lifesaving legislation that will improve how child victims of the brutal crime of human trafficking are identified, tracked, and helped through child protection agencies. Child protection agencies are often the first line of defense against child trafficking, and by helping them develop better guidelines for recognizing victims, serving them, and tracking them, they will also become better at preventing child exploitation.

Help Safe Horizon send our representatives a message about how important this bill is to vulnerable children who deserve and need better and safer futures.
