National Advocacy
Let Congress know that you support the Child Protection Compact Act.
The Child Protection Compact Act (HR 2737) would help enforce anti-trafficking laws by providing technical assistance and training to several targeted countries that have shown the political will to fight human trafficking and exploitation but lack the resources, know-how, and capacity to follow up with survivors.
Go to www.seekjustice.org and click on the Child Trafficking link at the bottom of the page. Scroll down to "What can the United States do?" and click on the "voicing your support" link. This link takes you to an automated form for contacting your representative in Congress and asking them to support the Child Protection Compact Act.
