- Summary
- The Report Card publicly recognizes the exceptional leadership of state legislators nationwide for their efforts to confront international traffi cking of women and girls into the United States. Since 2002, more than half of the states have enacted some form of antitraffi cking legislation - and we hope that legislators and advocates in these states will use the analysis of their state's efforts to improve and expand upon their existing laws and policies. While the states that had not yet enacted such laws as of December 31, 2006 received a grade of "F," we hope that the Report Card's recommendations will inspire their renewed efforts during the remainder of 2007 and in their 2008 legislative sessions.
