“Survivors are going from living in fear to a position of understanding that they have agency over their own lives and that they’re entitled to it. That’s incredible, to share with them that they have these rights that they didn’t even know they had and that will protect them.”

Cynthia Robertson | Partner, Jenner & Block, Washington DC | Pro bono attorney, The Human Trafficking Legal Center
