The TIP Report is the U.S. government\u2019s principal diplomatic and diagnostic tool to guide relations with foreign governments on human trafficking.\u00a0 It is also the world\u2019s most comprehensive resource of governmental anti-trafficking efforts and reflects the U.S. government\u2019s commitment to global leadership on this key human rights, law enforcement, and national security issue.\u00a0\u00a0As required by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, the TIP Report assesses government efforts around the world to combat human trafficking and highlights strategies to address this crime and protect the victims.\u00a0 This year\u2019s report, the 22nd<\/sup>\u00a0installment, includes narratives for 188 countries and territories, including the United States.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, Secretary Blinken will announce the 2022 TIP Report Heroes, individuals from around the world whose tireless efforts have made a lasting impact on the fight against human trafficking.\u00a0\u00a0Following the ceremony, the honorees will engage with American communities and organizations committed to ending human trafficking through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP).<\/p>\n

This event will be pooled press coverage and livestreamed on\u00a0www.state.gov<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
