Last week, the U.S. Department of State released its
Trafficking in Persons Report 2014. The report provides an in-depth look on human trafficking across the globe, its victims, its survivors, and actions that the U.S. government is taking to combat modern slavery. The report, along with other resources, can be found on
the State Department's website.
Ambassador Luis CdeBaca was appointed by President Obama to coordinate U.S. government activities in the global fight against human trafficking in May 2009. He serves as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State and directs the State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, which assesses global trends, provides training and technical assistance, and advocates for an end to modern slavery. Mr. CdeBaca formerly served as Counsel to the House Committee on the Judiciary, where his portfolio included national security, intelligence, immigration, civil rights, and modern slavery issues.
