When it comes to laws protecting victims of human trafficking, Virginia has no criminal record relief laws. If victims get charged for crimes they were forced to commit, those laws stay on their record.

We’re asking Virginia state lawmakers to pass a vacatur bill, so the records related to the crimes committed while under the control of a trafficker are wiped from their record.

Passing vacatur laws will allow survivors to return to a more normal life and not have to relive their trauma every time they apply for something that requires a background check (jobs, housing, credit cards, loans, etc.).

We need volunteers and advocates to recruit, organize, spread the word and more. If you're interested in joining our movemnet, sign up today.
