Civil Remedies for Trafficking Victims

Victims of human trafficking have many civil legal needs, including the need to access the legal system for safety, to obtain or secure income and to address immigration-related issues. Victims of trafficking often have unique legal issues and distinct legal remedies available to them that are not necessarily available to victims of other crimes, such as access to specific visas, public benefits, or forms of remuneration. It is crucial that human trafficking victims are able to have access to justice through these distinct remedies.
