Advocates who help sex trafficking survivors closely watch California SB 1414
The work being done at the 3Strands Global Empowerment Center on H Street seems never-ending.
The center provides relief for sex trafficking victims. It also provides hope.
"First, we meet their basic needs such as housing, food and if they need a shower," said 3Strands CEO Ashley Bryant. “One of the things that we did when we built this place is how can it feel safe as well as like home."
The Table opened at the end of January. The number of victims staff has seen has been overwhelming.
"We have had as many as 17 a day and, on average, seven to 10 a day that are dropping in," Bryant said.
Most are still in their teens.

Smith’s legislation to combat human trafficking passed by House Foreign Affairs Committee with strong bipartisan support
Legislation authored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) to combat human trafficking cleared a major hurdle today, winning strong support from the House Foreign Affairs Committee in a vote to send the bill to the House Floor for consideration and passage.
Named in honor of Frederick Douglass, the renowned abolitionist, Smith’s legislation—the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act (HR 5856)—would provide approximately $1 billion over five years to strengthen and expand successful programs and laws to combat modern-day slavery.
