LANSING – The Michigan Human Trafficking Commission has launched a quarterly newsletter to keep the public informed about the human trafficking crisis while highlighting agencies, nonprofits, and resources that assist and support survivors.
The first issue spotlights the Department of Attorney General’s ‘Address Confidentiality Program,’ which provides certain protections for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, human trafficking, or those who fear that disclosure of their physical address will increase their risk of harm.
The newsletter also highlights ‘Michigan Champions for Change,’ which is comprised of organizations united in the fight against exploitation. Featured organizations include Sacred Beginnings, Saginaw’s Underground Railroad, and Unsilenced. In addition, the newsletter includes statewide news impacting policy, response, and prevention efforts.
The Michigan Human Trafficking Commission was formed in 2015 after the 2014 Human Trafficking Commission Act became law. The Commission is comprised of 11 members appointed by the Governor.
