Mr. Speaker. I rise today as a voice for the thousands of human trafficking victims both abroad and in this country. Sadly. these voiceless victims are often beaten. starved. and forced to work as prostitutes or to take grueling jobs as migrant and domestic workers. Time and time again. we hear terrible stories of violence. death. and trauma against innocent men. women. and children who have been trafficked through organized crime rings and even terrorist organizations. As Members of Congress. we must stand up for justice and human dignity. The bills we are considering today will improve collaboration between government agencies. will cut down on human trafficking. and will better protect victims.
