TITLE II

-COMBATTING DOMESTIC TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS

Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has demonstrated international leadership
in combating human trafficking and slavery through the enactment of
the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (division A of
Public Law 106-386; 22 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) and the Trafficking
Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-
193).
(2) The United States Government currently estimates that
600,000 to 800,000 individuals are trafficked across international
borders each year and exploited through forced labor and commercial
sex exploitation. An estimated 80 percent of such individuals are
women and girls.
(3) Since the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act of 2000, United States efforts to combat trafficking in persons
have focused primarily on the international trafficking in persons,
including the trafficking of foreign citizens into the United
States.
(4) Trafficking in persons also occurs within the borders of a
country, including the United States.
(5) No known studies exist that quantify the problem of
trafficking in children for the purpose of commercial sexual
exploitation in the United States. According to a report issued by
researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in 2001, as many as
300,000 children in the United States are at risk for commercial
sexual exploitation, including trafficking, at any given time.
(6) Runaway and homeless children in the United States are
highly susceptible to being domestically trafficked for commercial
sexual exploitation. According to the National Runaway Switchboard,
every day in the United States, between 1,300,000 and 2,800,000
runaway and homeless youth live on the streets. One out of every
seven children will run away from home before the age of 18.
(7) Following armed conflicts and during humanitarian
emergencies, indigenous populations face increased security
challenges and vulnerabilities which result in myriad forms of
violence, including trafficking for sexual and labor exploitation.
Foreign policy and foreign aid professionals increasingly recognize
the increased activity of human traffickers in post-conflict
settings and during humanitarian emergencies.
(8) There is a need to protect populations in post-conflict
settings and humanitarian emergencies from being trafficked for
sexual or labor exploitation. The efforts of aid agencies to
address the protection needs of, among others, internally displaced
persons and refugees are useful in this regard. Nonetheless, there
is a need for further integrated programs and strategies at the
United States Agency for International Development, the Department
of State, and the Department of Defense to combat human
trafficking, including through protection and prevention
methodologies, in post-conflict environments and during
humanitarian emergencies.
(9) International and human rights organizations have
documented a correlation between international deployments of
military and civilian peacekeepers and aid workers and a resulting
increase in the number of women and girls trafficked into
prostitution in post-conflict regions.
(10) The involvement of employees and contractors of the United
States Government and members of the Armed Forces in trafficking in
persons, facilitating the trafficking in persons, or exploiting the
victims of trafficking in persons is inconsistent with United
States laws and policies and undermines the credibility and mission
of United States Government programs in post-conflict regions.
(11) Further measures are needed to ensure that United States
Government personnel and contractors are held accountable for
involvement with acts of trafficking in persons, including by
expanding United States criminal jurisdiction to all United States
Government contractors abroad.
