Human trafficking is a human rights violation of epidemic proportion. Trafficking places individuals in extremely vulnerable circumstances where their basic human rights are violated, including the rights to life, liberty, personal security, privacy, mental and physical integrity, freedom from slavery, and freedom from torture and other forms of inhumane or degrading treatment.
It is not right to victimize vulnerable women as sex objects. Yet, America has allowed women to become human trafficking victims. How many are in the United States? We do not know because the United States is not on the Human Trafficking tier system. We are one of the only countries that are not. See The Protection Project’s Review of the US Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons 2006 Trafficking in Persons Report at http://protectionproject.org/docs/Final_collection.pdf
What makes this country different from any other country? It is going on right here in the open sight of The People. Legislation, U.S. Government Representatives, Federal and State Judges are doing nothing to enforce laws already on the books. And, victims are not being compensated for pain and suffering for the abuse.

Human Rights in the United States
The Country Reports on Human Rights Practices are submitted annually by the U.S. Department of State to the U.S. Congress in compliance with sections 116(d) and 502B(b) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA), as amended, and section 504 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended. The law provides that the Secretary of State shall transmit to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, by February 25 “a full and complete report regarding the status of internationally recognized human rights, within the meaning of subsection (A) in countries that receive assistance under this part, and (B) in all other foreign countries which are members of the United Nations and which are not otherwise the subject of a human rights report under this Act.” Reports on several countries are included that do not fall into the categories established by these statutes and that thus are not covered by the congressional requirement.
The reports cover internationally recognized individual, civil, political, and worker rights, as set forth in the universal declaration of human rights.” [Read more...]
