Today, we&#8217;re seeing the fruits of our labor<\/strong>: the police are formulating a new procedure designed to clearly define the evidentiary threshold required to recognize an individual as a trafficking survivor, a status which grants them access to rehabilitative resources, and this new procedure will include an appeals mechanism for cases in which we disagree with the police&#8217;s initial decision!<\/p>\n<p>This change will allow us to achieve justice for survivors who have been waiting too long for the recognition and rights they deserve.\u00a0<strong>We&#8217;ve made the major systemic change, and we need to put policy into practice for the individuals who need rehabilitative resources now.
