IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. SCHIFF (for himself and Mr. WOLF) submitted the following concurrent 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of observing the National 
Day of Human Trafficking Awareness each year to raise 
awareness of and opposition to human trafficking. 
Whereas the United States has a tradition of advancing fun-
damental human rights; 
Whereas because the people of the United States remain com-
mitted to protecting individual freedom, there is a na-
tional imperative to eliminate human trafficking, includ-
ing early or forced marriage, commercial sexual exploi-
tation, forced labor, labor obtained through debt bondage, 
involuntary servitude, slavery, and slavery by descent; 
Whereas human trafficking is increasing in the United States 
and globally;

JOINT RESOLUTION 
Approving the renewal of import restrictions contained in

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. RENEWAL OF IMPORT RESTRICTIONS UNDER 
THE BURMESE FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY 
ACT OF 2003.
•HCON 102 IH 
Whereas to combat this increase in human trafficking, both 
the people of the United States and the Federal Govern-
ment must be aware of the realities of human trafficking 
and must be dedicated to stopping this contemporary 
manifestation of slavery; 
Whereas the United States should actively oppose all individ-
uals, groups, organizations, and nations who support, ad-
vance, or commit acts of human trafficking; 
Whereas the United States must also work to end human 
trafficking around the world through education; 
Whereas victims of human trafficking need support in order 
to escape and to recover from the physical, mental, emo-
tional, and spiritual trauma associated with their victim-
ization; 
Whereas human traffickers use many physical and psycho-
logical techniques to control their victims, including the 
use of violence or threats of violence against the victim 
or the victim’s family, isolation from the public, isolation 
from the victim’s family and religious or ethnic commu-
nities, language and cultural barriers, shame, control of 
the victim’s possessions, confiscation of passports and 
other identification documents, and threats of arrest, de-
portation, or imprisonment if the victim attempts to 
reach out for assistance or leave; 
Whereas although laws to prosecute perpetrators of human 
trafficking and to assist and protect victims of human 
trafficking have been enacted in the United States, 
awareness of the issues surrounding human trafficking by 
those people most likely to come into contact with victims 
is essential for effective enforcement because the tech-

severely limit self-reporting; and 
Whereas the effort by the March Against Terror USA organi-
zation to promote the observance of the National Day of 
Human Trafficking Awareness on January 11th of each 
year represents one of many examples of the ongoing 
commitment by people in the United States to raise 
awareness of and to actively oppose human trafficking: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress supports the goals and ideals 
of observing the National Day of Human Trafficking 
Awareness each year and all other efforts to raise aware-
