Hillary Clinton on human trafficking

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed an OSCE conference on preventing human trafficking held in Vienna, Austria, on 14-15 September 2009.

Secretary Clinton thanked OSCE Special Representative on combating trafficking, Eva Biaudet, and the Alliance against Trafficking in Persons for organizing what she called "this very important conference".

Noting that the US was eager to share its own experiences and learn from those of others, she encouraged the 56 OSCE participating States to consider preparing their own national reports on human trafficking.

This is an attempt to over inflate an issue in order to get more government money to these organizations. As a tax payer, voter, and resident I don’t want the government to mislead me. I would like to see a news organization do a full report on the lies, myths and exaggerated numbers being told about sex trafficking slaves. The articles about the super bowl sex slaves, has been proved wrong many times, but news organizations still report about it, as if it were fact.
