TIP Report

The Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report is an annual assessment published by the U.S. State Department that evaluates countries' efforts to combat human trafficking. It categorizes nations into tiers based on their laws, enforcement, and victim support programs. Countries with strong measures are placed in higher tiers, while those lacking progress are listed in lower tiers or as worst offenders. The report aims to encourage governments to improve efforts to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute traffickers, ultimately promoting global action against this serious crime.
