Reforming Florida's Trafficking Support System

Florida is failing human trafficking victims because the laws are obsessed with the wrong things.

Everyone thinks trafficking is just about sex work, but in Florida, labor trafficking

on farms is actually huge. The problem is the system ignores these workers and focuses

almost exclusively on women. Plus, if you want help, the law forces you

to cooperate with the cops first. Imagine being traumatized and told you can’t get healthcare or

housing unless you help the police build a case. It is a total mess. We need to stop

making support conditional and actually fund services for all survivors, not just the ones

that fit the stereotype.
