- Summary
- The United States has developed some specific remedies for trafficked persons who wish to remain in this country, primarily the T visa, but broader forms of protection are needed to adequately protect the many trafficked persons who do not qualify for this form of relief. This manual focuses on asylum as an alternative form of relief by presenting a legal framework for establishing asylum eligibility on the basis of trafficking and/or forced marriage. The manual also includes brief sections on withholding of removal under INA § 241(b) and protection under the Convention Against Torture.
