Serving as a tester for the National Coalition of Free Men, Blumhorst called ten agencies to request shelter because, he said, he was experiencing domestic violence. NOMAS supports Reauthorization of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, HR 3887The U.S. law addressing the crime of Sex Trafficking, the Trafficking Victims Protection Act 0f 2000, is about to expire and must be reauthorized by Congress.

The trafficking issue now moves to the Senate Judiciary Committee. |
