VIENNA, Va.—Although the office of the Virginia attorney general has well-established partnerships with federal, state, and local agencies, Attorney General Jason Miyares said his office needs additional assistance from the community to bring an end to human trafficking.
The attorney general announced a new anti-human trafficking initiative at a Sept. 12 press conference at the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce. The 100% Business Alliance Against Trafficking will help Virginia businesses educate their employees on how to recognize possible trafficking incidents within their business communities and allow more people to become the communities’ “eyes and ears.”
