Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n During National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we recommit ourselves to eradicating the evil of enslavement. Human trafficking is a modern form of the oldest and most barbaric type of exploitation. It has no place in our world. This month we do not simply reflect on this appalling reality. We also pledge to do all in our power to end the horrific practice of human trafficking that plagues innocent victims around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n Human trafficking is a sickening crime at odds with our very humanity. An estimated 25 million people are currently victims of human trafficking for both sex and labor. Human traffickers prey on their victims by promising a life of hope and greater opportunity, while delivering only enslavement. Instead of delivering people to better lives, traffickers unjustifiably profit from the labor and toil of their victims, who they force \u2014 through violence and intimidation \u2014 to work in brothels and factories, on farms and fishing vessels, in private homes, and in countless industries.<\/em><\/p>\n My Administration continues to work to drive out the darkness human traffickers cast upon our world. In February, I signed an Executive Order to dismantle transnational criminal organizations, including those that perpetuate the crime of human trafficking. My Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons has enhanced collaboration with other nations, businesses, civil society organizations, and survivors of human trafficking. The Department of Health and Human Services has established a new national training and technical assistance center to strengthen our healthcare industry\u2019s anti-trafficking response. The Department of State has contributed $25 million to the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery, because of the critical need for cross-nation collaborative action to counter human trafficking. The Department of Labor has released an innovative, business-focused mobile app that supports private-sector efforts to eradicate forced labor from global supply chains. And this month, I will sign into law S. 1536, the Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act and S. 1532, the No Human Trafficking on Our Roads Act. These bills will keep those who commit trafficking offenses from operating commercial vehicles, improve anti-human trafficking coordination within Federal agencies and across State and local governments, and improve efforts to recognize, prevent, and report human trafficking.<\/em><\/p>\n …………………………………………………….<\/p>\n View President Trump’s complete proclamation at:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/president-donald-j-trump-proclaims-january-2018-national-slavery-human-trafficking-prevention-month\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" WHITEHOUSE.GOV by President Donald J.Trump 12\/29\/2017 Excerpt: During National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we recommit ourselves to eradicating the evil of enslavement.
