The TVPA of 2000 is, as Amanda Kloer from Change.org says, the “cornerstone of U.S. efforts to combat human trafficking in the United States and around the world.” The law recognizes human trafficking as a crime, provides protections for victims, and helps prevent and eradicate modern day slavery through public awareness programs and international monitoring.
Now, the TVPA is up for renewal. And we need your help to ensure that this important legislation is continued. In partnership with Change.org, ATEST has started a petition urging President Obama, Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Harry Reid to make the eradication of slavery a priority—and renew the TVPA.
