Trafficking in Persons Report Enters Second DecadeAfter a decade of reporting, this year’s focus shifts to how to move forward.

Rather, we must measure our success or failure by victims served, by traffickers punished, and by abuse averted.” For more, http://stepheniefoster.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=301&Itemid=54
