Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, November 2, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio and other members of the U.S. Helsinki Commission will be holding a hearing focused on human trafficking and its links to transnational organized crime. The hearing comes as S. 1301, The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2011, makes its way through Congress.
“We must never lose sight of our duty to defend human rights, particularly for people exploited by the human trafficking trade,” said Rubio. “Too many people are being abused in this modern day slavery. This is an issue that both parties can work together on to raise awareness and reauthorize a law that will help stop this horrendous crime.”
