Dear Supporter,
Today, you can take action to help pass legislation that would recognize and rescue child victims of trafficking – and it will take just 10 minutes for you to make it happen.
The Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Human Trafficking Act of 2011 (H.R. 2730) is a lifesaving bill that would help agencies identify and respond to victims of child trafficking. Safe Horizon supports H.R. 2730 – and we need your support to make sure this critical legislation gets passed!
Here’s why H.R. 2730 is so important:
- It’ll help state child welfare agencies through guidelines on how to prevent, recognize, and address child sex and labor trafficking.
- It’ll produce best practices for child protection agencies to identify victims of child trafficking.
- It’ll develop licensing guidelines for residential agencies on how to best serve child victims.
The Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Human Trafficking Act of 2011 ensures that state child protection agencies put greater focus on children who’ve been trafficked, collecting information about their progress that would help improve recognition of child trafficking and response to helping child victims. It’s a lifesaving legislature that’s also a vital step in ending the brutal and unconscionable practice of child trafficking in the United States.
Please join us today and let your representative know that the Strengthening the Child Welfare Response to Trafficking Act needs to become law – and tell your friends and family so they can support this important bill, too.
Thank you for making a difference and for helping us work toward the end of human trafficking.
Sincerely,
Avaloy Lanning
Senior Director, Anti-Trafficking Program
Safe Horizon
