Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, when I returned home to the
United States, I heard a story from a young woman named Shandra, who
had a work visa to come over here from Indonesia to work in a hotel. On
her way over, she was kidnapped by traffickers and forced into
commercial sex slavery for 2 to 3 years on the I-95 corridor. The way
she escaped was through a bathroom window. I thank Mr. Royce for letting me have an opportunity to join him in
this legislation, which is going to target these sex and labor
traffickers, give a powerful tool to stop what we call modern-day
slavery.
