Rubio on State Department’s 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report
Each year, the U.S. Department of State releases its Trafficking in Persons Report. This report assesses countries in their efforts to counter human trafficking and identifies the most successful strategies for reducing the widespread evil of modern day slavery.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a statement about the State Department’s 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report.
- “It’s outrageous that we’re seeing an increase in the evil practice of human trafficking around the globe. With the advancement of technologies, we are seeing this category of human rights violation proceed at a quicker pace.
- “The criminal Cuban regime, through its so-called medical brigades, continues to lead a modern day slavery scheme that subjects medical personnel to forced labor and unimaginable hardships. Venezuela’s narco-regime, now a Tier 3 country, has failed to prove any commitment to counter human trafficking in our region. The Nicaraguan authoritarian dynasty has transformed its nation into an illegal mass migration hub. Communist China’s modern-day slavery scheme, as it continues with its acts of genocide against the Uyghurs and other minorities, reaffirms that Beijing continues to benefit from forced labor and seeks to taint our supply chain.
- “The concerns listed in this report for these heinous crimes, must transcend into tangible actions to counter these abuses.”
