TIP Report (Trafficking in Persons Report)

The Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report is an annual publication by the U.S. Department of State that evaluates how governments worldwide address human trafficking. It assesses countries based on their efforts to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and prosecute traffickers. The report categorizes countries into tiers based on their compliance with U.S. trafficking laws and international standards. It serves as a key resource for policymakers, advocates, and the public, highlighting issues of modern slavery and urging nations to improve their responses to combat trafficking and support victims effectively.
