22 U.S.C. § 7101 — Purposes and findings

**(a) Purposes** The purposes of this chapter are to combat trafficking in persons, a contemporary manifestation of slavery whose victims are predominantly women and children, to ensure just and effective punishment of traffickers, and to protect their victims. **(b) Findings** Congress finds that: (1) As the 21st century begins, the degrading institution of slavery continues throughout the world.
