Yesterday, President Obama spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting about his administration’s efforts to combat human trafficking and made it clear that the United States will continue to be a leader in this global movement to fight modern slavery.
The Obama Administration has developed and began executing a comprehensive strategy that includes expanding our interagency task force to include more federal partners, and devoting more resources to identifying and going after trafficking networks. Additionally, the U.S. has strengthened protections so foreign-born workers know their rights.
But with more than 20 million victims of human trafficking around the world there’s much more we have to do.
