International Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025

Key Points

• The bill reauthorizes and increases funding for anti-trafficking programs, authorizing $102.5 million per year from 2026 through 2030 for international anti-trafficking efforts, up from $65 million previously. Up to $37.5 million of that can go to programs to end modern slavery.
• The bill creates new protections for domestic workers employed by foreign diplomats in the U.S. on A-3 and G-5 visas. These workers will receive in-person registration, annual descriptions of their rights under federal and state law, and information about the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
• Countries that fail to meet minimum anti-trafficking standards face the loss of certain U.S. foreign assistance. The bill clarifies what counts as restricted aid while carving out exceptions for humanitarian, health, food security, and anti-narcotics programs.
• Multilateral development banks funded by the U.S. will be encouraged to include counter-trafficking strategies and risk assessments in projects located in countries with poor trafficking records (Tier 2 Watch List, Tier 3, and Special Cases).
• Grant recipients under the Program to End Modern Slavery must now publish the names of all subgrantee organizations on a public website, or if there are security concerns, relay those names to the Secretary of State for classified reporting to Congress. All grants must be awarded competitively.
