Through this undertaking, Aradhana helped to refine the screening process and increase identification of survivors at local public defender offices, the San Francisco Immigration Court, within faith-based groups and worker centers, at other non-legal and legal aid organizations as well as at detention and prison facilities in Northern California. These anti-trafficking efforts have been complemented and supported by abolitionist and immigrant rights’ groups throughout California.  

Informed by survivor leaders and her own work in direct services, Aradhana will work at the regional and California state level to advance policies which prevent trafficking, advocate for systemic change that de-criminalizes and supports survivors, and promote legal action which holds institutions accountable when they profit from the exploitation and abuse of marginalized communities.
