Civil remedies under 18 U.S.C. § 1595 empower trafficking victims to seek justice and compensation against perpetrators and beneficiaries.
The 15-year statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases allows victims more time to seek justice, especially in high-profile cases. This extension empowers victims to come forward without the pressure of tight deadlines, promoting accountability for abusers. High-profile cases like Harvey Weinstein's have highlighted the significance of these changes in the legal landscape.
Learning to recognize retaliation, understanding your rights, and knowing how to respond are vital steps to protect yourself after reporting harassment or discrimination. Take action to ensure a fair and respectful workplace.
