Donald Trump\u2019s daughter, Ivanka Trump, is pushing her father and the new White House administration to take legislative action on the issue of human trafficking, according to Axios<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

On Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump held a listening session on the issue, to greater understand the problem of women and girls who are trafficked into America, and then sexually exploited for profit.<\/p>\n

However, the issue was fast-tracked onto the agenda by Ivanka Trump, alongside\u00a0Dina Powell, the White House senior counselor for economic initiatives. According to a source close to Axios, \u201cIvanka recommended the meeting to the president and he immediately agreed, given what a horrible issue it is in the U.S. and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The meeting, which took place at 14:30 in the Roosevelt room, was attended by both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, as well as longtime\u00a0advocates on the issue, such as Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Rob Portman (R-OH), and Bob Corker (R-TN.)<\/p>\n

The issue of human trafficking is a priority of Ivanka Trump, who has pledged to advise her father<\/a> on women\u2019s issues. One of the charities attending the meeting,\u00a0Tech Innovation to Fight Child Sexual Exploitation, was co-founded by her husband Jared Kushner.<\/p>\n

Last week, Ivanka tweeted a photo<\/a> with her father and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, claiming that they had a \u201cgreat discussion about women having a seat at the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
