Key U.S. Policy Priorities
The fight against human trafficking is a top priority of the
Obama administration, which is eager to form collaborative
efforts to fight this modern form of slavery, says Secretary of
State Rodham Clinton. Trafficking is “a debasement of our common
humanity,” President Obama says.

"The
ninth annual Trafficking in Persons Report sheds light on the
faces of modern-day slavery and on new facets of this global
problem. The human trafficking phenomenon affects virtually
every country, including the United States. In acknowledging
America’s own struggle with modern-day slavery and
slavery-related practices, we offer partnership. We call on
every government to join us in working to build consensus and
leverage resources to eliminate all forms of human trafficking."
--Secretary Clinton, June 16, 2009
