Post #8: Human trafficking 'a national security issue,' Obama task force told

On Thursday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and various government department heads stated that human trafficking is a major issue in the Obama Administration. “The 27 million men, women and children victims of human trafficking are an affront to our most fundamental values," stated Clinton at the White House of the President's Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. In the past year the task force was able to charge 120 defendants with crimes of human trafficking, the highest yet. In the past three years, there has been a significant rise in prosecuting crimes of human trafficking and sex slavery. The task force acknowledged that stopping human trafficking would require large amounts of funding and time.

I think that it is good and important that President Obama’s administration is recognizing that human trafficking is a problem and are making plans to combat it. 27 million slaves is too high a number to not do anything about. One slave is too high a number. While 120 people being charged with trafficking crimes seem low, it is actually a high number considering that several years ago, human trafficking was being completely ignored. I applaud the Clinton, the task force, and the Obama Administration for their work and acknowledgment about human trafficking.
