“ My Administration continues to work to drive out the darkness human traffickers cast upon our world. In February, I signed an Executive Order to dismantle transnational criminal organizations, including those that perpetuate the crime of human trafficking. My Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons has enhanced collaboration with other nations, businesses, civil society organizations, and survivors of human trafficking. ”

“ During [w: [Blue Heart Campaign#National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month|National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month] ] , we recommit ourselves to eradicating the evil of enslavement.

We also pledge to do all in our power to end the horrific practice of human trafficking that plagues innocent victims around the world. ”
