Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said over 25 million people are victims of human trafficking worldwide. This year\u2019s report contained a massive amount of human trafficking stories from over 188 countries including the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe scale of this problem is vast,\u201d Blinken said. \u201cThere are nearly 25 million people currently victims of trafficking. The United States is committed to fighting it because trafficking destabilizes societies, it undermines economies, it harms workers, it enriches those who exploit them, it undercuts legitimate business and most fundamentally because it is so profoundly wrong.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today we released the 2022 Trafficking in Persons Report, which is meant to effect positive change and encourage governments to increase and improve their anti-trafficking efforts each year.

The report also noted that more than 21 countries have increased their efforts to address the global issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cTwenty-one countries were upgraded a tier because those governments made significant increasing efforts to combat trafficking at home as well as for their citizens abroad,\u201d he stated. \u201cEighteen countries were downgraded a tier indicating that they either didn\u2019t make significant increasing efforts to combat trafficking or worse, that their governments have a state-sponsored policy or pattern of trafficking.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, anti-trafficking officials emphasized the need to engage with survivors early in an effort to draw more attention to the issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt is imperative that we engage survivors early and often,\u201d voiced Dr. Kari Johnstone. \u201cAs we begin to see growing interest of our bilateral and multilateral partners to responsibly engage survivors, we are more hopeful than ever that elevated survivor voices will strengthen our anti-trafficking efforts around the globe. When governments and civil society prioritize partnerships with survivors, meaningful engagements can flourish and lead to better outcomes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the meantime, officials are expected to place sanctions on countries which were blacklisted in this year\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-gaetz-grills-former-gop-lawmaker-over-disney-data\/\">Rep.
