U.S. State Department releases the 2010 Trafficking in Persons report
Jun 14, 2010
U.S. State Department releases the 2010 Trafficking in Persons report – a globally recognized evaluation of what countries are doing to combat human trafficking and help its victims. The current and 10th report represents a significant milestone by including a full evaluation of the U.S.
“The Report, for the first time, includes a ranking of the United States based on the same standards to which we hold other countries. The United States takes its first-ever ranking not as a reprieve but as a responsibility to strengthen global efforts against modern slavery, including those within America. This human rights abuse is universal, and no one should claim immunity from its reach or from the responsibility to confront it.” – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Human trafficking is a crisis that is tearing apart the lives of children and adults around the world. There is still much more to do and we hope to see the U.S. government significantly step up its anti-trafficking efforts and support for victim services across North America and the world.
