How we can help these victims get the help they need and deserve

I believe it becomes quite evident on how we can redress the problems that occur when it comes to the eradication of human trafficking. This could be done by granting asylum to those who attempt to seek it right away. What prevents several courts from granting these victims asylum as they are technically committing a felony if they entered a country illegally however, these victims had absolutely no choice in this matter and had either their own life or families life threatened in order to being coerced to commit these awful acts. To create several restrictions and guidelines to those who attempt to seek asylum prevent them from ever gaining freedom and to live this awful life until the day it may be taken away from them. Victims who are seeking asylum are not given the same rights to those who have been granted it, which makes their journey to be able to access it even more difficult. Asylum seeking victims have limited access to safe accommodations, education, work as well of acquiring long-term stay in the United States. There is also a limited amount of economical funding to these survivors as those who are in the process of being granted their freedom end up residing in temporary residence units, that are typically co-ed. The dangers of this include a young girl who has just been through something traumatic is forced to be placed in an area with men at the danger of being groomed, or even worse harmed all over again. The government needs to allocate funds to these victims so that they are protected in a safe environment and do not risk being trafficked all over again. These survivors as well should be placed in as program where they are constantly checked up to make sure they remain safe, until they are mentally and physically able to be on their own again.
