U.S. Department of State’s “DipNote”: The Power of Local Communities in the Fight Against Human Trafficking
Kari Johnstone, acting director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the State Department, highlights this year’s Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, which “underscores the responsibility national governments bear in combating human trafficking across the 3Ps of prosecution, protection, and prevention.” Johnstone notes the report’s introduction “focuses on the importance of local communities in the fight against human trafficking and encourages national governments to support and empower their partners on the ground” (6/28).
