Sanctum House testifies at the Capitol
Survivors of human trafficking testified at the Michigan Capitol in support of legislative reforms that would provide greater protection and support for victims. The bills aim to expand expungement rules for trafficking survivors, provide affirmative defenses for crimes committed under duress, and reframe legal language to avoid victim-blaming terminology. The goal is to empower survivors, hold traffickers accountable, and create a more supportive legal system for those who have endured this horrific crime.
