Upcoming legislation…<br />
Child Protection Compact Act of 2009<br />
Co-sponsor: Congresswoman Anna Eshoo of Palo Alto<br />
Provides $50 million over 3 years to select “focus<br />
countries” through the U.S. Department of State’s Office<br />
to Monitor <strong>and</strong> Combat Trafficking in Persons (G/TIP)<br />
These focus countries will receive support in building<br />
public justice systems that effectively investigate crimes<br />
against children <strong>and</strong> prosecute perpetrators in numbers<br />
sufficient to deter <strong>and</strong> eventually eliminate the crime.<br />
The legislation also authorizes increased assistance for<br />
care for survivors of trafficking.
