Represent Resilience Virtual Gallery from OVC

October 2020

 

“This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which recognized the importance of holding traffickers criminally accountable, protecting victims, and preventing victimization from occurring in the first place.

The Office for Victims of Crime leads the Department of Justice’s response efforts to combat human trafficking and provides the most federal funding to those on the frontlines. In commemoration of the 20th anniversary, the Office for Victims of Crime launched this art initiative—Represent Resilience—to feature original artwork by survivors, advocates, and anti-trafficking professionals across the country.

We received an overwhelming response from survivors and providers across the country and, with the assistance of a survivor-led review team, we are pleased to announce the artwork selected for our virtual display.”
