Hi Wenchi,
It was excellent to be allow to summit an entry as an individual to the Changemakers Competition. I liked to see all entries, specially the entries of CAST, The Department of Justice, The Population Media Center, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and mine of course . It is great to see how TIP can be fight in many different ways.
The US TIP report is a great instrument. The TVPA is an invaluable piece of legislation that we have to celebrate and defend - specially in my case coming from a country where the Justice System do not work the way it should. I think the work of people like Congressman Chris Smith has to be laud highly. Sadly, this great instrument is loosing to much respect an credibility, thanks to the efforts of DOS officials that are playing to much politics with it and are not caring enough about human trafficking victims or advocating for them. They are not complying with the 3P . A great and powerful country like the US could do great things to fight TIP. I am just shock how the DOS managed trafficking issues in Argentina. Please, ask your Congress and serious NGOs working TIP to pay attention.
