Shared Hope’s research and ongoing legislative technical assistance work to address laws that narrow the definition of a child sex trafficking victim. The following tools will help legislators working to ensure that every victim of juvenile sex trafficking is appropriately identified under the law and provided a protective, not punitive response.
