Human trafficking is one of the most horrendous crimes of our time. The COVID-19 pandemic has had catastrophic effects for survivors of human trafficking and individuals at risk of human trafficking here at home in the United States and around the world. This global pandemic has significantly disrupted the lives and support networks of survivors of trafficking while increasing their financial stress, homelessness, food insecurity, interpersonal violence, and grief over the loss of loved ones.
