WHAT IS THE ADVANCED LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK?
It is comprised of the provisions that are still needed in state law to ensure a just response is provided to minor victims of sex trafficking. It builds on the foundation established over the past 10 years by The Protected Innocence Challenge legislative framework which has been used to grade the states every year since 2011. The Protected Innocence Challenge project was our vision for mobilizing states to improve legislation that impacts the sex trafficking of minors. Ten years of grassroots mobilization, advocacy, technical assistance, and consistent collaboration has allowed this vision to largely become reality.
