Introduction Everyday agencies at the local, state, federal and international level are fighting to eradicate human trafficking across the United States. Other countries as well are on the same mission. Many regions of the world are target areas for human trafficking, such as Asian, African and South American countries. The United Nations Office on Drug and Crime defines human trafficking as “the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs” (http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/human-trafficking/what-is-human-trafficking.html). In 2000, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) was passed by Congress to battle human trafficking and to provide support to local and state government to assist victims of human trafficking. The Act also inaugurates trafficking in persons as a federal crime and protects victims and survivors. Since the TVPA of 2000, it has inherited amendments and reauthorizations in 2013, 2008, 2005 and 2003. Arizona has been known to be a top route for labor and sex trafficking in and out of the United States and is on the radar of law enforcement at the local, state and federal level.

This council’s support and is directly in line with the TVPA of 2000 and its amendments. The Council has committed to coming into compliance with the TVPA of 2000 to assist with implementing anti-trafficking statutes across the state. On April 22, 2014, House Bill 2454 was signed into law, by former Governor Jan Brewer. This bill focus was to strengthen state law by increasing penalties for human trafficking while cultivating protective measures to victims and survivors (http://www.endsextrafficking.az.gov/council.html). Part A Legislation and Political Context All the amendments are as follows, Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2013 (Title XII of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013) which tightens the relationships with local and state stakeholders and confirms the goods produced by victims are not purchased. William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 adds intervention strategies against labor trafficking to ensure worker's rights. Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 included a pilot and grant programs to assist in housing of sex trafficking victims. The reauthorization of 2003 allows for victims to sue traffickers and to protect victims and their families from deportation., Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools To End the Exploitation of Children Today Act of 2003; all seek to assist in anti-violence and anti-trafficking efforts (http://www.state.gov/j/tip/laws/).
