Labor trafficking is significantly underreported. Victims are often hidden in plain sight, afraid to speak out. So today we are launching a training video to raise awareness of the signs, support victims, and hold perpetrators accountable.

Please help us spread the word.

MLRI's Jamie Sabino: “During the pandemic, the sense has been that fewer people are leaving. They don’t have anywhere to go because of financial insecurity and quarantines, and the shelter system has been stretched to the limit."

Thank you @NEJM for this Perspective: "A Pandemic within a Pandemic — Intimate Partner Violence during Covid-19." Much work still to be done to ensure that people who experience abuse can continue to obtain access to support, refuge, and medical care during COVID and beyond.
