    SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
    (1) The crime of human trafficking involves the exploitation
    of adults through force, fraud, or coercion, and children for
    such purposes as forced labor or commercial sex.
    (2) Reliable data on the prevalence of human trafficking in
    the United States is not available, but cases have been reported
    in all 50 States, the territories of the United States, and the
    District of Columbia.
    (3) Each year, thousands of individuals may be trafficked
    within the United States, according to recent estimates from
    victim advocates.
    (4) More accurate and comprehensive data on the prevalence
    of human trafficking is needed to properly combat this form of
    modern slavery in the United States.
    (5) Victims of human trafficking can include men, women, and
    children who are diverse with respect to race, ethnicity, and
    nationality, among other factors.
    (6) Since the enactment of the Trafficking Victims
    Protection Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-386; 114 Stat. 1464),
    human traffickers have launched increasingly sophisticated
    schemes to increase the scope of their activities and the number
    of their victims.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress
    supports additional efforts to raise awareness of and oppose human
    trafficking.

    [[Page 5276]]

    human trafficking should include demand reduction
    as a component.
