FNUSA-led Bill to Provide Legal Protections for Survivors Introduced in Congress
Last year, our members came to us with concerns that survivors were being denied access to legal remedies when their employers trafficked them because of unjust forced arbitration clauses in their employment contracts. We worked with them to draft and introduce legislation that would ban forced arbitration of human trafficking claims.

This ban would allow survivors full access to the court system, including having their case heard by a judge, public accountability for abusive employers, and the ability to pursue class action in cases where there are multiple survivors.

Did You Know?
Human trafficking survivors are often convicted of the various crimes that their traffickers force them to commit during their trafficking experience.

The resulting criminal records present ongoing barriers to independence and healing as survivors struggle to obtain employment and free themselves from the stigma and embarrassment of a criminal record.

Our Survivor Reentry Project ([link removed]) pairs survivors with pro-bono attorneys who review their cases and help them find avenues to clear their records.
