Rutan & Tucker, LLP Attorneys Peter Hering and Star Leal share profound insights in Orange County Bar Association - CA Lawyer Magazine, reflecting on a year of representing Human Trafficking Survivors—lessons learned, stories untold, and a commitment to forwarding the work of the Orange County Human Trafficking Project.

Would you have guessed that 55% of criminalized survivors were first trafficked as a minor? If not that number, what was your first guess? It's hard to hear the truth sometimes, but please pass along this information to others who might not have the knowledge of the realities of human trafficking right here in our own state. We can't fix it all and definitely not all at once. But let's change the outcome, one survivor at a time.

In recognition of the many unmet legal needs of #humantrafficking survivors, ALIGHT is thrilled to share that our collaboration with the Orange County Human Trafficking Project (OCHTP) continues as we expand to Los Angeles to serve more human trafficking survivors. OCHTP is an exciting new initiative that harnesses legal talent from Rutan & Tucker, LLP, the University of California, Irvine School of Law Pro Bono Initiative and others to provide pro bono legal representation for survivors in Orange County and Southern California. #partnership #ALIGHTtheWorld #JusticeforSurvivors
