Rochelle Keyhan, our CEO was published this morning in the print and digital edition of the New York Daily News regarding the New York City loitering law and how it criminalizes potential trafficking victims.
Excerpt:
“Re human trafficking enforcement, and stopping exploiters: this law puts all the attention on potential victims, obscuring exploitation and protecting traffickers. We need to improve public policy to ensure, as a community, we support vulnerable populations while stopping traffickers; and repealing this law is a first step in shifting the focus off of potential victims and onto identifying and penalizing traffickers.”Collective Liberty is committed to assisting ALL victims of human trafficking and exploitation.
