Victims, Survivors, and their Families seeking Legal aid from The Legal Service Corporation should never be arbitrarily turned down on the basis of income, visible appearance, sex, gender, housing status, or any other factor. Sexual abuse and human trafficking victims, whether adult or child, should qualify unconditionally for legal assistance and full Civil and Criminal Representation. A special victim requires special representation and so do their families. When a provider who was a victim dies it leaves their family without income and places them at risk of financial devastation. We must establish legal protections for families of victims and survivors so they can get the legal aid they need when they come forward. No one should arbitrarily be turned down when applying for help as a survivor or dependent of a deceased victim who died as a secondary result of their human trafficking or sexual abuse victimization, I.e. addiction born out of being sexually abused and sex trafficked. This refusal of legal aid is happening to survivors, victims, and their families. The results are devastating. I could say so much more about this and I will in the future.
