Exciting news out of New Hampshire! The bill to end child marriage is now on to the Governor's desk for signature. Congrats Cassandra Levesque and all the other legislators, survivors & advocates who worked so hard to get NH this close to becoming the 13th state to end child marriage!

Immigrants make our communities safer & should be treated with dignity & humanity! We are disappointed that HB1105 was signed into law, mandating local law enforcement comply with failed & misguided “public safety” policies. Immigrants & survivors in Georgia deserve better.

For survivors of violence, trauma can have physical, cognitive, and emotional effects on their everyday lives. We must equip leaders, healthcare providers, and frontline professionals to meet the needs of survivors in their communities in a trauma-informed way.

Gratitude to USCIS for the positive improvements in the final T Visa rule. This is the result of lots of hard work from advocates and USCIS and we know the changes will benefit trafficking survivors and their families.
