AIT Director Stanton remarks at the 2010 International Workshop on Strategies for Combating Human Trafficking.
This year, Taiwan achieved the highest possible ranking -- "Tier 1" -- in the annual U.S. State Department Trafficking-in-Persons Report.
Taiwan earned its ranking in clear recognition of its commitment to improve training, to strengthen victim support services, and to expand anti-trafficking partnerships.
It also reflected Taiwan's actions to protect victims by providing temporary work and residency permits and by building new shelters; to prosecute traffickers with a new Human Trafficking Prevention Act; and to prevent trafficking by establishing a migrant worker hotline.
