Anti-Human Trafficking Project

Human trafficking is a grave national and international human rights issue. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act defines a severe form of human trafficking as:

1. sex trafficking, in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion* or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age; OR

2. labor trafficking—the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services through the use of force, fraud or coercion* for the purpose of subjecting that person to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery.
   *emphasis added

Survivors of human trafficking may be found in domestic service, tourism, hospitality, agriculture, construction, commercial sex, forced criminal activity, and many other settings.

The Anti-Human Trafficking Project works in collaboration with RMIAN’s Detention and Children’s Programs to support detained immigrant adults and immigrant children and youth identified as survivors of human trafficking. RMIAN’s Anti-Human Trafficking Project offers free: 

• Legal services, and coordination of specialized social services, for detained immigrant adult and immigrant child/youth survivors of human trafficking

• Trainings on human trafficking for service providers, law enforcement, children’s advocates, juvenile justice and criminal court officials, community members, and others on human trafficking

• Legal trainings for attorneys on the T visa and other trafficking-related forms of immigration relief
