Thousands and thousands of men. women. and children around the world who are the victims of human traffickingit is on their behalf that I come to the floor. It is in their interest and in the interest of responsible trade policy that recognizes there can be no reward to nations that ignore those types of trafficking in persons and do nothing to end the scourge of what amounts to modernday slavery. one of the great moral challenges of our time. It is for the worlds 50 million refugees and displaced peoplethe largest number since World War II. many of whom are targets of traffickers. Because they are displaced. have nowhere to go. they are preyed upon. We have the largest number since World War II of refugees in the world. It is for the 36 million women and 5 million children around the world subjected to involuntary labor or sexual exploitation. For the victims of these crimes. the term .modern slavery" more starkly describes what is happening around the world.
