President Trump Just Made This HUGE Contribution To Help Victims Of Human Trafficking

Attorney General William Barr and presidential adviser Ivanka Trump announced during an event at the White House that President Trump has donated more than $35 million in grants for victims of human trafficking.

Ivanka called human trafficking the ”gravest of human rights violations.” She called the event a “celebration” of the accomplishments the administration has made to confront trafficking, as well as an opportunity for victims to tell their personal stories of survival.

Barr thanked President Trump and his daughter Ivanka for working towards the abolition of human trafficking and the help they have provided to help survivors. He called human trafficking an “evil scourge” and his department will go to any lengths to “investigate, prosecute, and punish” those responsible for these crimes.

As the survivors stood to tell their stories Barr became emotional and had to cover his face with his hands.

The grants being donated will be distributed to 73 organizations to provide up to two years of housing and assistance for rent, utilities, and other related expenses for victims.

The Camillus House Inc. in Miami, Alternatives for Girls in Detroit, and the Jordan Community Resource Center in Shaker Heights, Ohio are just some of the organizations that will be receiving a portion of these grants.

This money will also be used to help find permanent housing for victims. Job assistance, occupational training, and counseling will also be provided to those who want it.

The coronavirus has made the need for safe and supportive housing for survivors more important than ever. Stay at home orders forced many of these victims to live with their traffickers for a longer period of time.

President Trump, along with special advisers he has appointed to the issue, will continue to elevate the fight against human trafficking.
