TVPA reauthorization

TVPA reauthorization refers to updating and extending the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, a law aimed at combating human trafficking—illegal trade of people for forced labor or sexual exploitation. Reauthorization typically involves Congress renewing funding, strengthening protections for victims, and enhancing anti-trafficking measures. It ensures that the US continues to prioritize prevention, prosecution of offenders, and support for survivors. This process may also introduce new provisions to adapt to evolving trafficking tactics, maintaining the law’s effectiveness and commitment to eradicating modern slavery.
