HTLC ALSO CONDUCTED TRAININGS ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING CIVIL LEGAL REMEDIES AND STRATEGIC LITIGATION THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. HTLC WORKED CLOSELY WITH TRAFFICKING SURVIVOR-LEADERS TO BUILD THE ANTI-TRAFFICKING SECTOR, FACILITATING POLICY DISCUSSIONS AND TRAININGS LED BY INDIVIDUALS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE.

REFERRALS OF TRAFFICKING CASES TO PRO BONO COUNSEL: IN 2022, HTLC REFERRED 55 CASES TO PRO BONO COUNSEL. THESE CASES INCLUDED CRIMINAL VICTIM-WITNESS, CIVIL, VACATUR/EXPUNGEMENT, TAX, IMMIGRATION, AND FAMILY LAW MATTERS. REFERRALS WERE CRITICAL IN CONNECTING CLIENTS WITH HIGHLY-SKILLED PRO BONO COUNSEL. THESE REFERRALS LEVERAGED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FREE LEGAL SERVICES FOR TRAFFICKING VICTIMS WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD LEGAL REPRESENTATION. IN ADDITION TO THESE REFERRALS, HTLC HANDLED A SMALL NUMBER OF IMMIGRATION AND CRIMINAL VICTIM-WITNESS CASES IN-HOUSE, REPRESENTING CLIENTS DIRECTLY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$140.7KDatabase Support for Trafficking Cases
