Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000: Trafficking in Persons Report 2007
"Trafficking in persons is a modern-day form of slavery, a new type of
global slave trade. Perpetrators prey on the most weak among us, primarily women
and children, for profit and gain. They lure victims into involuntary servitude
and sexual slavery. Today we are again called by conscience to end the
debasement of our fellow men and women. As in the 19th century, committed
abolitionists around the world have come together in a global movement to
confront this repulsive crime. President George W. Bush has committed the United
States Government to lead in combating this serious 21st century challenge, and
all nations that are resolved to end human trafficking have a strong partner in
the United States." -- Secretary Rice
