Fighting Sex Trafficking - “Human Slavery”

Senator Ron Wyden is standing tall against some of the most heinous crimes against human dignity by bringing a bipartisan solution to the continuing epidemic of human sex trafficking.

Partnering with Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Senator Wyden is committed to fighting this "human slavery." Together, Wyden and Cornyn have introduced the “Trafficking Deterrance and Victims Support Act to address this growing, dangerous problem.

"Sex trafficking is slavery, pure and simple," said Wyden. "It's a crime against human dignity in which girls - teenage and even younger - are bought and sold for sexual exploitation. It is an international problem, but it a very real Oregon problem."
