LexisNexis Recognized by U.S. State Department for Anti-Human Trafficking Efforts

Posted by Rule of Law Resource Center Staff

The U.S. Department of State in its recently released 2009 Trafficking in Persons Report commended LexisNexis for its multiple efforts to help combat human trafficking by providing support in various forms to combat this heinous practice. Discussing the powerful anti-trafficking tool of public and private sector partnerships, the ninth annual report on the trafficking around the globe had the following to say in its section entitled “Topics of Special Interest”:

“In 2008, LexisNexis, an online database service, partnered with the U.S. National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) to develop a national database of social service providers for the Center’s hotline. In Southeast Asia, LexisNexis partnered with a leading anti-trafficking NGO and taught technical skills to the shelter’s staff. The company also created an online resource center for attorneys who work with human trafficking victims; it collaborated with the American Bar Association (ABA) to support a training institute on civil remedies for TIP victims, which trained lawyers from six countries and across the United States.”
