Put Trafficking Victims First Act of 2023

The Put Trafficking Victims First Act of 2023 aims to improve how the federal government tracks human trafficking and supports survivors. The bill directs the Department of Justice to establish a specialized working group to standardize data collection and requires a nationwide survey of survivors to better understand the scope of trafficking in the United States.

For citizens, this legislation is designed to create more effective victim services and ensure that survivors receive the restitution they are legally owed. By improving the accuracy of trafficking statistics, the bill intends to help law enforcement and service providers more efficiently allocate resources to the communities and individuals most in need of protection.
