Why Foreign Nationals

Foreign nationals face complex vulnerabilities. Many populations:

• Are unaware of helpful support services or may not have access to them due to geographic isolation or isolation due to their trafficking situation
• Fear the authorities and the threat of deportation, whether they are documented or undocumented
• Lack documentation proving their identity
• Lack an understanding of their rights in the United States
• May experience language or literacy barriers
• May be exploited when traffickers threaten to harm them or their family
