SAVE Girls Act
This bill creates a new federal grant program to prevent child trafficking and support victims. It authorizes $50 million for grants to states, tribes, local governments, and nonprofits to focus on preventing the smuggling of girls and young women aged 12-24 across U.S. borders and providing services to those already trafficked or at risk. The program specifically targets child sex trafficking and severe trafficking in persons, requiring grant funds to address both prevention and victim support. The funds remain available until expended, with the Attorney General and Health and Human Services Secretary administering the program.
