?? PRESS RELEASE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27 , 2025 Advocate, public officials, and survivors of human trafficking call for urgent protections for workers during LA's post-fire recovery. ?? ????Los Angeles, CA - On Thursday, February 27, 2025, at 1pm, a press conference was held in front of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors’ building to shed light on the urgent need to prevent labor trafficking and exploitation in the wake of the recent LA fires. As city and county residents recover from this devastating destruction, it is critical to protect labor rights and implement strong protections in order to prevent human trafficking during the rebuilding efforts. ?? The link between natural disasters and increased risk of human trafficking is well-documented, as crises like the recent fires create vulnerabilities that traffickers exploit. It is imperative that we reduce the risk of trafficking by addressing the sudden economic hardship, job losses, housing instability, and worsening living conditions that make individuals more susceptible to forced labor and exploitation. Immigrants, undocumented workers, women, children, and other individuals at these intersections face an even higher risk. Systemic barriers, including a lack of legal protections, language access, and fear of retaliation, further prevent them from seeking help or reporting abuse.

Speakers at the event included lived experts with policy expertise, nonprofit and advocacy organizations, public officials, labor rights advocates, and impacted workers. Awareness of; natural disasters and human trafficking, working to find solutions for preventing exploitation as we rebuild and recover from the fires.
