Trafficking Victim Protection Act transformed the way trafficking is prosecuted.
Bipartisan pushback encountered, though.
Gee I wonder why.
Child Sex Tourism is rampant worldwide.
They rent a child and abuse them. Disgusting beyond words.
pedoes get passports and travel around the world.
this is a pivital time to examine human trafficking it is now most important than ever, since title 42 expired last night
80% of women migrants to usa border are sexually abused
Smith: I plan on reintroducing the Frederick Douglass Human Trafficking Act

Wild: Human trafficking is easy to ignore because it is a difficult subject to think about. But we must because it is an affront to humanity.
It is unacceptable to morality.
This is a bipartisan issue because this is a fight against evil.
The state of Georgia is one of the worst places for trafficking children.
This is a heart problem. A spiritual problem.
Human trafficking victims to testify
Ms. Bella Hounakey up first: survivors are embodiment of the strength of human will
it is a story of evil and the human spirit's refusal to submit to evil
we agree it is a heart issue
as a country, as legislators, our actions must demonstrate our morality
Ms. Gina Cavallo: I was prostituted, my abusers took psychological control of me. I became a commodity for other's gain.
I thought it was my fault. Traffickers maintain control over victims via drugs, isolation, fear. They instilled a strong distrust of police.
Had there been a hotline then, I could have called. The current hotline helps in a trauma-informed manner. (Good)
Traffickers are also women. 3 men and 1 woman trafficked me over 3 years.
I learned from counseling that I was protecting those who trafficked me.
I learned if you don't heal what hurt you, you will bleed on those who did not hurt you.
We need to hold all buyers and sellers accountable.
Lawmakers can insure traffickers are exposed and can create a safer country.
No one should feel the double-victimization of being trafficked as well as shame for speaking out.
It's essential that children are empowered and safe.
Congressman Chris Smith has led the fight against trafficking - you are all making a difference.
Countless women, men, boys, girls are trafficked every day.
Thank you for all you do to end this horrendous crime.
Chairman, Honorable Members of Congress, my colleagues,
I begin with a quote credited to both John Bunyan and later to Mahatma Gandhi: "It is better in prayer, to have a heart without words, than words without heart."
I pray you all hear my heart in these words as I speak my truth: In the 1970s a man took a boy, to whom he was related, to a cabin in a rural part of the country. The man told the boy to undress and to wait. The boy obeyed him. Moments later another boy entered the room accompanied by two men. The first boy, upon seeing how scared the second boy looked, asked, โWhatโs the matter, why are you so scared?โ The second boy replied, in shock and disbelief, โYou donโt know, you donโt know!โ The man took the second boy into an enjoining cabin and the two men proceeded to violently rape the first boy. I am the first boy and that was the first time I was trafficked.

Ms. Becky Murray
Founder and CEO, One By One
in Sierra Leone, I purchased a pair of shoes for a young girl for a dollar. The girl presumed that meant I had purchased her body for sex for that dollar.
From the weight of this encounter, One By One was established.
Gov't has ignored prevention of human trafficking: how do we prevent human trafficking in the 1st place?
The USA needs to continue to invest in the prevention of human trafficking. Promotes freedom, justice, and human dignity.
Ms. Martina Vandenberg
President, The Human Trafficking Legal Center
-
TVPA has proven to be a powerful tool to hold traffickers accountable. The TVPA criminalizes forced labor, as well as sex trafficking. The law includes explicit extraterritorial jurisdiction, 18 USC ยง1596, that covers human trafficking crimes committed abroad. The U.S. Government has used this extraterritorial jurisdiction successfully to prosecute perpetrators.
-
TVPA provides a civil cause of action coextensive with the criminal provisions so that trafficking survivors can hold their traffickers, including those who benefit from their trafficking, accountable in the federal courts. That statute, 18 USC ยง1595, has allowed trafficking survivors to seek justice.
-
TVPAโs Trafficking in Persons Report, which started in 2001 as a slender tome printed in Courier typeface, has evolved into a powerful foreign policy tool. Beyond the tier rankings, the TIP Report Country narratives include Congressionally-mandated reporting on corruption cases, incidents of trafficking by diplomats, and trafficking by peacekeepers.
-
Diplomats are a big problem. Diplomats and international organization personnel are permitted to bring domestic workers to the United States on special visas, known as A-3/G-5 visas. Over the years, in the wake of horrifying cases of forced labor and abuse, Congress has added protections for A-3/G-5 domestic workers. Amendments to the TVPA require that A-3/G-5 workers have contracts and receive a pamphlet outlining their rights as workers in the United States.
-
Additional consequences are clearly necessary for diplomats โ and their sending states โ who choose to thwart federal court orders. Diplomats are state officials. Trafficking by diplomats is an egregious form of public corruption, a misuse of an official position for personal gain.
-
The United States must not become a safe harbor for abuse of migrant workers. In recent months, the Human Trafficking Legal Center has observed an extremely troubling trend: professional workers brought to the United States with contracts that include steep financial penalties. The labor recruiters who write these contracts refer to the provisions euphemistically as โliquidated damages.โ We call these provisions โabscondment clauses.โ
-
These contracts have devastating consequences for migrant workers in the United States. In one particularly troubling case, ten nurses and their attorney faced criminal charges in New York after the nurses left their jobs.

Smith: 35,000 - 40,000 children are exploited in forced labor in Congo for production of "clean" electric vehicle cobalt mining.
Hearing about that next week.
Grooming online has been much more aggressive targeting young people.
80% of trafficking victims access healthcare at some time because of rape and beatings.
We need to do more to make hospitals, healthcare facilities more aware.
Ms. Gina Cavallo
Trafficking survivor: In hospitals I was never left alone by my traffickers.
I remember someone (fam member) hurt me and I went to the hospital for stitches. My mother protected my abuser & lied about what happened. I learned to protect those who hurt me.
My healing journey will always continue.
I am taken aback whenever I enter a school. Students are very engaged on this subject and want to talk.
I would like to see more parents and caretakers involved. How girls and boys are raised are very different. THere are many cultures where boys are not held accountable. We are raising monsters. Same for girls. Girls can be abusive and traffickers.
Ms. Bella Hounakey
Trafficking survivor,
From a faith perspective, if you are a survivor I will say from my personal experience you cannot heal by yourself.
if you are watching, those things the traffickers have told you are wrong. You are not broken. If you have been a victim of religious trauma, God has not abandoned you. There is hope.
Ms. Becky Murray
Founder and CEO, One By One
International community needs to make sure that they do not do more harm when trying to help.
Poverty is a big problem and that needs to be addressed
Ms. Martina Vandenberg
President, The Human Trafficking Legal Center
Survivors should not be arrested. Trafficking survivors should be given the opportunity to "rescue themselves."
We have much to thank the Dept of Labor. The inspectors found those children (meat packing article in NY Times)
Mr. Robert Lung
Trafficking survivor
USA leads by example, we are flawed but it is humbling to realize how many branches of govt are fighting human trafficking
Many groups fighting human trafficking do not have survivors involved. To me, that is tokenism.
Survivors can't do this alone. And you ]committee[ can't do this without us.
The impact of your experience and our experience - we can move mountains.
Celebrate Recovery - I went and it was free and is all over the country. It was incredible. Helped heal stuff buried for decades.
I had one prayer - I prayed to meet one survivor. just to be able to relate. That I wasn't alone. My prayer was answered.
Wild: I apologize that many of my colleagues are not here. Fridays are fly-out day and they often miss Friday hearings.
Diplomats and domestic workers. I think we may be able to be effective immediately.
State Department interviews the domestic workers of diplomats. It is not mandated.
Vandenberg: we got the idea from Europe about 6 years ago.
Wild: I imagine there is a lot of fear at these interviews. Fear of being deported. I will ask the State Dept at their hearing.
Migrant workers - we had a vote on border bill yesterday. Many of us recognize that construction, agriculture, need migrant workers. But this can lead to trafficking and forced labor.
Vanderberg: It does. Migrant workers who are most protected when they understand their rights.
Wild: Depart of Labor Wage and Hour Division should be empowered to do that.
Judge Lung: we created 2 tier system to find out what individual states are doing to combat human trafficking. Important to have federal approach but need collaboration.
Critically important to have the legislation Implemented and accountability.
For non-profits they get 15 million grant they are mandated to show the results.
Federal gov't should also have to show to the results and be accountable.
Wild: sounds like a recommendation for an additional hearing.
