The Link Between Human Trafficking And Forced Migration

March 21, 2024

By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

Alliance to End Human Trafficking offers the third and final webinar in series.

Asylum seekers in the U.S. are at risk of sex and labor human trafficking when not allowed to find legal work and provide for their families. Join Catholic Sisters and people of good will on Wednesday, April 17 from 11:30 - 12:30 pm CT for a one-hour webinar to encourage Congress to fix this vulnerability and also to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic red tape by passing H.R. 1325, the Asylum Seeker Work Authorization Act.

If you missed the first two webinars in their campaign on Forced Migration and the Threat of Human Trafficking you can find them here:

Immigration and human trafficking are clearly interconnected, especially in the United States. Polaris estimates 77% of persons trafficked in the United States each year are immigrants. (Polaris Analysis of 2021 Data from the National Human trafficking Hotline, page 8 of 29).
