Anti-human trafficking advocates warn that Section 604 of the Clarity Act could undermine accountability for human trafficking cases, despite existing laws. They argue this provision may shield perpetrators from punishment. The concern is particularly relevant given the estimated 25 million victims worldwide, highlighting the need for strengthened, not weakened, anti-trafficking measures and accountability.
