Key U.S. Policy Priorities
“The victims of modern slavery have many faces. They are men and women, adults and children. Yet, all are denied basic human dignity and freedom. … All too often suffering from horrible physical and sexual abuse, it is hard for them to imagine that there might be a place of refuge.” — President Barack Obama
The 177-country report is the most comprehensive worldwide
report on the efforts of governments to combat severe forms of
trafficking in persons, a modern form of slavery. Its findings
are intended to raise global awareness and spur countries to
take effective actions to counter trafficking in persons. The
assessment includes reports on 175 countries assigned ranks,
including the first-ever ranking of the United States.
Trafficking in Persons
Source: U.S. Dept of State, June 2010
Secretary Clinton (June 14, 2010): "The 10th annual
Trafficking in Persons Report outlines the continuing challenges
across the globe, including in the United States. 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."
