Trafficking in Persons Report
The Secretary of State submits the annual "Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000:
Trafficking in Persons Report" to Congress. This report covers "severe forms of trafficking in persons" defined as:
"(a) sex trafficking in which a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which
the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age; or (b) the recruitment, harboring, transportation,
provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud or coercion for the purpose of
subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery."

What is trafficking in persons?
Trafficking in persons — also known as "human trafficking" — is a form of modern-day slavery.
Traffickers often prey on individuals who are poor, frequently unemployed or underemployed, and who may lack access to social
safety nets, predominantly women and children in certain countries. Victims are often lured with false promises of good jobs
and better lives, and then forced to work under brutal and inhuman conditions.
It is a high priority of the Department of Justice to pursue and prosecute human traffickers. Human
trafficking frequently involves the trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation, a brutal crime the Department
is committed to aggressively investigating and prosecuting. Trafficking also often involves exploitation of agricultural and
sweat shop workers, as well as individuals working as domestic servants.
The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude. The Victims
of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (VTVPA) supplements existing laws and establishes new tools and resources
to combat trafficking in persons and to provide services and protections for victims.
