The report found that the United States' (U.S.) anti-trafficking efforts have been primarily for the prosecution of traffickers rather than for protecting and advancing the victim's human rights. The United States needs a human rights framework in addition to its prosecution efforts. The U.S. Government should also ratify the United Nations Trafficking in Persons Protocol, enhance the ability to provide witness and victim protection, put more resources into training service providers, and require the State Department to stop giving undue credit to countries that have not really protected/advanced human rights. The purpose of the report was to look at the effect of trafficking on women. Of the 600,000 to 800,000 people trafficked across international borders each year, 70 percent are women. Women are vulnerable to trafficking primarily because of gender inequalities that impact economic and social status. Trafficking can include sex trafficking, debt bondage, involuntary servitude, and coerced or forced prostitution or labor. List of resources and publications
