There are currently several hundred bills under
consideration in this session of the U.S. Congress that address human trafficking in
some way. The majority of these bills address sexual exploitation of trafficked
victims particularly those under the age of 18.
The Violence Against Women Act
is aimed at punishing those who prey upon women. A number of organizations seek to address the situation. Some of these groups are Operation Polaris which is mainly aimed at
education of the public about the insidious ways in which trafficking affects
victims.
FAIR Girls takes a multipronged approach by sponsoring educational workshops on the subject and also providing services to victims in the U.S and other countries. One of these services provides occupational therapy and counseling to victims. Jewelry made by victims is for sale to the public and is available through http://fairgirls.earthcare.com/. Part of the money raised through sale of jewelry is used to finance counseling for victims.
Get involved. Become an advocate for women, children, and excellence in education!
