Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and New York State Attorney General Letitia James promoted a pair of bipartisan bills in Congress to help victims of human trafficking at a Sunday, Feb. 13, press conference in Midtown.
“Human trafficking is a horrific form of slavery that affects thousands of people across this country and hundreds in New York,” Gillibrand said. “Congress has a responsibility to end these injustices and clear non-violent criminal convictions of trafficking survivors so they can rebuild their lives without a criminal record. These bipartisan bills would help accomplish this goal and would also improve data collection on human trafficking to better identify patterns and provide a trauma-informed, victim-centered approach to recovery.”
