Modern prohibitions of human trafficking in the United States have their roots in the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which barred slavery and involuntary servitude in 1865. Prior to 2000, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed human trafficking cases under several federal statutes related to involuntary servitude and slavery, but the criminal laws were narrow and patchwork. In the last two decades, Congress has passed a number of comprehensive bills designed to bring the full power and attention of the federal government to the fight against human trafficking. Here are brief summaries of some of the most significant legislation in this area.

The National Immigrant Justice Center provides comprehensive legal services for non-citizen children and adults who have been trafficked in the United States.

Includes Resources for Survivors of Human Trafficking in New Jersey, Sexual Assault Survivors Protection Act (SASPA)—Protection for Victims, Guidelines for Preventing Human Trafficking in Schools, etc.

Within the Department of State, the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) partners with foreign governments, international organizations, other federal agencies, civil society, the private sector, and survivors of human trafficking to develop and implement effective strategies to confront human trafficking.
