Senator Cris Dush has been actively involved in the fight against human trafficking for several years. With January being International Human Trafficking Awareness Month, Senator Dush has been conducting a series of interviews with various individuals and organizations dedicated to combating this heinous crime.

One of the interviews conducted by Senator Dush was with Jordan Pine, the Founder, President, and CEO of Greenlight Operation. Pine, who has a background in politics and criminal justice, is a leading voice in Pennsylvania when it comes to addressing human trafficking. She has tirelessly worked to educate others about this criminal industry and has been instrumental in providing support and care for survivors.

During the interview, Pine emphasized the importance of disrupting human trafficking and restoring the lives of survivors. She stated, "We desire to see a world where human trafficking is disrupted and survivors are restored." Pine's organization, Greenlight Operation, is dedicated to strategically combating human trafficking through educational initiatives and providing a continuum of restorative care for sex trafficked women.

Senator Dush's collaboration with Pine and organizations like Greenlight Operation is a testament to his commitment to improving victim support and providing the necessary legislation for law enforcement and social services to better assist those who have been trafficked. His recently enacted legislation, Pennsylvania Act 39, allows victims to receive social services without having to identify their traffickers, ensuring their protection and helping them move away from the dangerous environment of human trafficking.

In addition to his interview with Jordan Pine, Senator Dush has been conducting interviews with other individuals and benchmark organizations involved in the fight against human trafficking in Pennsylvania and around the world. These interviews serve as a platform to raise awareness about the issue and highlight the efforts being made to combat this global problem.

As we observe International Human Trafficking Awareness Day on January 11th, it is crucial to recognize the tireless work being done by individuals like Senator Dush, Jordan Pine, and organizations like Greenlight Operation. Their dedication and passion towards ending human trafficking and restoring the lives of survivors are invaluable in the ongoing fight against this grave violation of human rights.
