Popis: Human trafficking for forced labour and sexual exploitation continues to be a major cause of concern to the international community. With the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 the United States took a lead role in combating human trafficking and set standards for other countries with respect to prevention of human trafficking prosecution of traffickers and protection of victims. However despite tremendous efforts by the federal as well as local governments non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the research community working together to fight this form of modern day slavery solutions remain elusive. The vast majority of victims of severe forms of trafficking are women and children. In the United States most trafficking victims but particularly child victims go unidentified and even fewer gain access to the services developed to help them break free from the shackles of their traffickers.
