There’s been a win in the fight against human trafficking.

A bishop-backed bill has passed the House in a landslide vote. 

The Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act strengthens and expands anti-trafficking programs. 

The bill still has to go before the Senate.

American bishops have been pushing to pass the measure for years.

The National Correspondent for The Tablet and Crux, John Lavenburg, joins Currents News to discuss more about the efforts to fight human trafficking.
