Human trafficking is a persistent and pervasive international crime, with up to 800,000 people sold across international borders every year, and up to 17,500 brought into the U.S. alone, according to Department of State estimates.

We all must be dedicated to raising awareness about the problem of human trafficking, so your participation in the daylong symposium is greatly appreciated.

Attendees and those of you unable to attend the symposium, we have posted the keynote remarks as well as many presentations from the conference below.

Again thank you for your efforts and commitment to combating human trafficking.
