AIT代理處長谷立言昨天與副總統陳建仁一同於內政部「2019年防制人口販運國際工作坊」,恭喜台灣在美國國務院的《人口販運問題報告》中,連續十年名列「第一級」。代理處長讚揚所有人士,「孜孜不倦打擊人口販運、努力要將從強迫勞動及性剝削中獲利的人口販子繩之以法,並幫助人口販運的受害者或潛在受害者,為其提供保護。」代理處長並表示:「美台對尊嚴、自由及法治的共享承諾,正是所有其他合作項目奠基於其上的基礎。台灣在打擊人口販運方面的出色表現,體現了這項價值。正因如此,美國才會一再將台灣稱為民主的典範,可靠的夥伴,及世界上一股良善的力量。」美國 2019 年人口販運問題報告 – 台灣部分請參考:https://www.ait.org.tw/…/2019-trafficking-in-persons-repor…/ #TraffickinginPersonsReport
AIT Acting Director Raymond Greene yesterday joined Vice President Chen Chien-jen in congratulating Taiwan on obtaining the best ranking for the 10th year in a row in the State Department’s 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report at this year’s National Immigration Agency International Workshop on Strategies for Combating Human Trafficking! The Acting Director commended those who “have worked tirelessly to combat trafficking in persons, to bring to justice those who profit from forced labor and sexual exploitation, and to protect and help those who are either victims or potential victims of trafficking.” “Our shared commitment to dignity, freedom, and rule of law are the foundation upon which all other cooperation is built. Taiwan’s outstanding efforts to combat human trafficking embodies this value. It’s for these reasons that we frequently refer to Taiwan as a democratic role model, a reliable partner, and a force for good in the world,” Greene added.
