The Girl He Sold Returned As The King’s Mate Chapter 21
Within three months, they rescued eleven women still trapped in illegal labor networks.
The whereabouts of nine others remained unknown.
I submitted a proposal to Elliot and the Royal Council to establish identity recovery centers near major docks, bus terminals, and freight hubs.
These centers would allow victims of trafficking to report their situation directly, without needing permission from their so-called employers, guardians, or original Packs.
Once a victim’s documents were confirmed to have been obtained through coercion or deceit, the centers would have the authority to suspend those documents first and verify the victim’s true identity later.
Even if no relatives could be found, victims would be allowed to choose their own names, establish independent identity records, and apply for temporary Pack protection.
The proposal was sent back by the Royal Council twice.
The first time, they argued that the sheer volume of suspicious documents would require a massive budget and workforce to verify.
The second time, they claimed that once victims were separated from their controllers, they would have nowhere to go and could easily be recaptured by other criminal groups.
I revised the proposal again.
The identity recovery centers would not only take reports. They would also document injuries, hold suspicious documents in escrow, and provide seven days of emergency shelter.
Local hospitals, Pack shelters, and public training centers would each be mandated to provide temporary rooms.Â
