Abstract
Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (“Global AIDS Act” or “GAA”) places two limitations on organizations that are eligible to receive funding under this Act. First, funding may not be used to “promote or advocate the legalization or practice of prostitution or sex trafficking.” Second, any organization that receives funding must have a “policy explicitly opposing prostitution and sex trafficking . . .” The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2003 (“TVPA”) has similar requirements. It states that no funding can be made available to “promote, support, or advocate the legalization or practice of prostitution,” and that any organization receiving funding must state in a grant application or grant agreement that “it does not promote, support, or advocate the legalization or practice of prostitution.”
