As long as human trafficking exists, more can be done! I am not familiar what what does exist, but, I agree with Lauren when she said don’t punish the prostitute!

On the state level, while there has been vast improvement in some legislation, a few states have a long way to go. Massachusetts, rated one of the most improved states by the Polaris Project, created a Human Trafficking Task Force, which strengthens protections for victims of trafficking and makes using the internet as a trafficking tool a punishable offense.

On the other hand, there are states like Wyoming, where until January 29, no state law existed to punish traffickers. House Bill 133 adds human trafficking legislation to the lawbooks, and the bill will now go onto the Senate, which is a step in the right direction for the state.

Yes, there is SO much more that can be done to prevent trafficking. I think anti-prostitution laws need to focus more on punishing pimps/traffickers than punishing prostitutes who many times are the victims of trafficking. Our current laws let traffickers off the hook and penalize victims more!
