Description

What has been learned from over 50 years of experience working with civil protection orders (CPOs) for victims of domestic violence, is that CPOs provide an important justice system option that is independent of the criminal justice system. This peer-to-peer forum helps judges better identify the full range of civil protection order options available in each state for victims of human trafficking. In this session, faculty rolls out NIWAP’s fifty-six jurisdiction review of how protection orders can help adult and child victims of both sex and labor trafficking in states across the country.
