Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA)

The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) is a U.S. law enacted in 2000 aimed at combating human trafficking and protecting victims. It establishes a framework to prevent trafficking, prosecute traffickers, and support survivors. The law focuses on trafficking for sexual exploitation and forced labor, ensuring that victims receive necessary services and assistance. It also encourages international cooperation to address these crimes globally. By raising awareness and providing resources, the TVPA seeks to eliminate trafficking and hold offenders accountable.
