Trafficking in Persons

On June 5, 2006, the U.S. State Department released the 2006 Trafficking in Persons Report.  The Department of State is required by law to submit a Report each year to the U.S. Congress on foreign governments’ efforts to eliminate severe forms of trafficking in persons.  In assessing foreign governments’ efforts, the TIP Report highlights the "three P’s"— prosecution, protection, and prevention.  It is intended to raise global awareness, to highlight the growing efforts of the international community to combat human trafficking, and to encourage foreign governments to take effective actions to counter all forms of trafficking in persons.
