Save Our Girls from Sex Trafficking Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Save Our Girls from Sex Trafficking Act builds a federal response around domestic child human trafficking. The Attorney General must create an interagency task force with HHS, Treasury, Labor, Education, HUD, and Homeland Security to reduce demand, prevention gaps, and awareness gaps while coordinating victim-centered services and law-enforcement responses. The Attorney General and HHS must study how children enter the sex trade, trafficker and buyer profiles, vulnerable minors, health effects on survivors, and the impact of large events. Education grants fund trafficking awareness in schools. HHS grants fund trafficking education for foster-care agencies. Justice grants fund officer and prosecutor training, pretrial diversion, survivor protection for testimony, and incentives for multidisciplinary teams and policies against prosecuting victims. Labor grants fund job skills and job placement for survivors and at-risk children. HHS long-term care grants fund facilities, counseling, trauma-informed mental-health services, and transitional housing.
Who Benefits and How
Child trafficking survivors benefit from victim-centered law-enforcement responses, diversion away from punitive systems, testimony protections, long-term care, counseling, trauma-informed mental-health services, transitional housing, and job training. Children in schools and foster care benefit from prevention education. Local educational agencies, foster-care agencies, States, local governments, Tribal governments, and nonprofits benefit from new grant pathways. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors benefit from training on identifying victims and responding to trafficking cases. Congress benefits from a study on trafficker profiles, buyer behavior, survivor impacts, and large-event effects.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Attorney General, HHS, Labor, Education, HUD, Homeland Security, Treasury, and DOJ grant staff must create task-force processes, studies, grant applications, monitoring, reports, and cross-agency coordination. Schools, foster-care agencies, law-enforcement agencies, prosecutors, States, local governments, Tribal governments, and nonprofits must apply for grants, collaborate with victim-centered experts, document program use, and comply with grant conditions. Federal taxpayers fund the education, law-enforcement, job-training, long-term-care, counseling, mental-health, and housing grants.
