The TVPRA Passed in Congress - We did it!
This past week the reauthorization of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPRA) was passed in both the House and the Senate. This is the bill that Not For Sale advocates lobbied for in October at NFS Advocacy Days in Washington, DC! Not only will it help trafficking survivors obtain visas, but numerous additions have also been made to greatly increase the United States' efforts nationally and internationally to combat slavery. The bill has now been sent to President Bush, and is awaiting his signature this week to go into effect in 2009. Click here to read the bill!
