Workplace Problems or Concerns

The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (WWTVPRA) of 2008 protects the legal rights of certain employment or education-based non-immigrants, including J-1 Exchange Visitors, against abuse and discrimination while visiting the United States.

Among other protections, you have the right to:

• Be treated and paid fairly
• Not be held in a job against your will
• Keep your passport and other identification documents in your possession
• Report abuse without retaliation
• Request help from unions, immigrant and labor rights groups and other groups
• Seek justice in U.S. courts
• Always contact InterExchange with concerns regarding your safety and well-being.

Be aware of all the laws that protect you.
