Title
ALERT (Arizona League to End Regional Trafficking)
Description
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) provided the means for non-citizen victims in the U.S. to apply for a T visa and other benefits or services so that they can safely and securely rebuild their lives. The TVPA signified a shift in the immigration law policy, which had previously resulted in many victims of human trafficking being deported as illegal aliens. Now qualified victims are eligible to receive access to legal, housing, job placement, health care, and educational assistance programs.
In February 2003, the US Department of Justice / Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) awarded a grant for the creation of the Arizona League to End Regional Trafficking (ALERT). ALERT is a coalition representing partnerships with law enforcement, faith-based communities, non-profit organizations, social service agencies, attorneys and concerned citizens. Through education, outreach and a variety of programs and services, ALERT strives to end the suffering and dehumanization of victims of human trafficking. ALERT helps victims of trafficking by providing: food and shelter; medical care; mental health counseling; immigration assistance; legal assistance; language interpretation; case management; and other culturally appropriate services. ALERT had offices in Phoenix and Tucson but can serve clients statewide.
To report a potential trafficking case, refer a victim, join our coalition, make donations, volunteer, or get more information, please call ALERT at 1-888-60-ALERT or email us at traffickingalert@yahoo.com
