Americans need to be talking more about the problem of human trafficking in order to successfully combat it, the nation’s acting homeland security secretary says.
“We as Americans, again, are not talking enough about this issue,” Chad Wolf said during an event Wednesday at The Heritage Foundation, adding:
Let me make myself clear. In 2018, the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline reported nearly 11000 cases of human trafficking that same year. One of our essential partners in the nation’s clearinghouse, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, received more than 18.4 million reports of online child sexual exploitation and abuse. That’s over 50,000 reports per day.
Wolf assumed office in November as acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
