The Human Trafficking Survivors Relief Act was recent passed by the US House of Representatives. This act would establish an affirmative defense for trafficking victims, meaning that survivors will legally have the opportunity to defend against only those charges that came directly as a result of being a trafficking victim and provides relief for survivors who have already been convicted on charges as a result of their trafficking victimization through vacatur, expungement and sentencing mitigation.

Victims and survivors of trafficking will often be forced or coerced into committing crimes by their trafficker. This bill gives those victims and survivors an avenue to have their criminal records removed so that they don't have that record hanging over them as they try to move forward.

Exciting news! The Trafficking Survivors Relief Act (TSRA) has just passed the first hurdle toward becoming a law this year and was voted through the House Judiciary Committee! We’re one step closer to gaining, for the first time, a federal law that will recognize that survivors should not be punished for crimes they were forced to commit and will give survivors a pathway to clear their federal criminal records.

The next step is passage through the full House of Representatives, so TAKE ACTION by asking your Representatives to support and co-sponsor this important legislation! Learn more: https://polarisproject.org/tsra/

Addiction is not consent.

The Diddy case illustrates how our federal anti-trafficking laws have not fully caught up with the evolving tactics of traffickers, particularly when it comes to drug-based coercion.
