We are happy to announce another exciting panel for the 13th Annual Freedom Network Conference. \u00a0Please join five Freedom Network members as they discuss strategies and benefits to pursing civil damages for human trafficking survivors.<\/p>\n

Workshop Abstract:<\/strong> Since 2003, trafficking victims have been able to sue their traffickers in federal court for damages.\u00a0 Sadly, in the twelve years since passage of this civil remedy, trafficking victims have filed just 147 cases.\u00a0 As the Urban Institute<\/a> report points out, almost all of those cases are for forced labor.\u00a0 In 2008, Congress expanded the civil litigation law to permit lawsuits against those who knowingly benefit financially from trafficking.\u00a0 Only a tiny handful of trafficking suits have used this theory.<\/p>\n

The Civil Litigation Roundtable will bring together lawyers and victim advocates to discuss the benefits of civil litigation and efforts to make civil litigation more accessible to trafficking survivors.\u00a0 Topics to be covered include: recent successful cases, possible damages awards, working with pro bono attorneys, expert witnesses, and best practices for supporting survivors engaged in litigation.\u00a0 This roundtable provides an opportunity for cross-cutting communication between some of the country\u2019s most experienced trafficking litigators and leading victim advocates to discuss the benefits and challenges of trafficking litigation.<\/p>\n
