Dear Friend,
Advocacy plays a large role in the work we do at Freedom Network USA. It helps us improve the everyday lives of trafficking survivors throughout the country and holds traffickers accountable for their actions. So what are some of the things we advocate for?
Immigrant Rights
Immigrants are at an increased risk of trafficking in the US. Racism, classism, and xenophobia leaves immigrant workers unprotected and vulnerable, and traffickers are ready and waiting to take advantage of them. FNUSA advocates for immigration reforms to reduce vulnerability to trafficking.
Reproductive Rights
As we watch more restrictive laws get passed throughout the country, we know it will impact the lives of trafficking survivors. Every human deserves bodily autonomy, especially trafficking survivors, who need to regain full control over their bodies to heal from their trafficking experience.
Decriminalization of Sex Work
Sex work is a form of work. It can be dangerous, but that is exactly why workers deserve protection instead of prosecution. We believe that criminalizing sex work causes significant harm to both consensual sex workers and sex trafficking survivors. Decriminalization is necessary to decrease the abuse and exploitation that occurs in the sex trade.
