Experts say more is needed to combat human trafficking in Richmond
Briefly

Richmond is focusing on addressing human trafficking by enhancing area lighting, launching a public education campaign, and increasing police enforcement. Recent updates to the City Council from experts highlighted the collaboration among various agencies, the introduction of additional lighting along key corridors, and community engagement efforts. There has been progress, such as installing 23 new lights and planning for an additional 100. Financial support is requested to sustain these initiatives, reflecting a committed effort to reduce both sex work and forced labor in the community.
In Richmond, the focus has largely been on curbing sex work along 24th Street by increasing lighting, considering traffic calming measures and deploying quarterly human trafficking operations.
It's so amazing to see what they've been able to accomplish just along that 24th and 23rd Street area. I'm so excited and happy to work with amazing people who are really concerned.
