The Dayton Human Trafficking Accords

 

WHEREAS,

WE can end human trafficking and slavery, but only if we solemnly commit ourselves to that common purpose.

We must confront the global scourge of trafficking and slavery beginning in our own local communities.

We as individuals and all institutions of society have a moral responsibility to end trafficking and free slaves from their captivity.

 

NOW THEREFORE,

WE undertake a solemn commitment, beginning now, to end the scourge of trafficking and slavery

And to take immediate action in our communities to

            Stir society’s conscience to action against trafficking and slavery

            Rescue and restore victims of trafficking and slavery

            Identify and punish traffickers and slavers

            Promote legislation and public policies to eradicate trafficking and slavery

            Address the social, cultural and economic causes of trafficking and slavery

So that

We will end human trafficking in our time.
