Actor Ashton Kutcher and Elisa Massimino from Human Rights First testified at a hearing on ways to improve federal support for combating human trafficking and slavery. Mr. Kutcher, co-founder of the anti-human trafficking network Thorn: Digital Defenders of Children, talked about his organization’s efforts toward the release of trafficking and slavery victims. He also answered questions on the types of regulations, resources, and future anti-trafficking legislation that could help the government and private sector pressure international counterparts to fight slavery and criminal networks. Senators focused on anti-trafficking legislation they were working on, and asked the witnesses about ways to improve federal support for local- and state-level efforts, and to encourage such efforts abroad. close
