New York advances anti-trafficking laws, including sex work decriminalization and victim protections, amid global crisis.
Human trafficking affects an estimated 25 million people globally each year, generating $150 billion in illicit profits, with tens of thousands trafficked into the U.S. annually.
Survivors like Laura Mullen describe deep trauma and fear, often preventing them from seeking help due to mistrust of law enforcement or fear of prosecution.
In response, New York state and local governments are advancing legislation, including the Decriminalize Sex Work bill offering conditional immunity, mandatory trafficking education in schools, expanded public awareness signage, extended statutes of limitations, job-protected leave for victims, and stricter hotel regulations to disrupt trafficking operations.
Advocates urge public support for these measures to strengthen prevention, victim support, and justice.
