Sunita Jain Anti-Trafficking Policy Initiative

Community informed solutions to historical and systemic racial inequity is fully realized as anti-trafficking work and stakeholders invest resources and political capital in racial justice, including criminal and immigration systems change.

In ten years trafficking is prevented in formal and informal economies and workplaces, which results in poverty reduction and access to systems, support, and services from which vulnerable groups have been historically excluded.

In ten years, the Sunita Jain Anti-trafficking Initiative will have reduced enforcement priorities that are complicit in trafficking and legal protections are in place that reflect the lived experience of vulnerable groups. Immigration systems must provide a legal path to citizenship to prevent trafficking.

Anti-trafficking laws, policies, and government practices will be guided by the voices of trafficking survivors which urge anti-carceral and public health approaches to preventing human trafficking and hold accountable government actors and agencies that perpetuate, enable, aid and/or abet human trafficking.

Human Trafficking is codified as part of a climate change narrative as reflected in locally-led climate resilience, evidence-based research, and tangible legal protections.
