TIP Report

The TIP Report (Trafficking in Persons Report) is an annual report published by the United States State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons. The TIP Report is a comprehensive assessment of the state of human trafficking around the world. It assesses the efforts of countries to combat human trafficking and identifies trends and patterns in the trafficking of persons. The report also provides recommendations for how governments can improve their efforts to prevent and combat trafficking. The TIP Report is used by the US government to inform its policies and programs on human trafficking, and is also used by other governments, organizations, and individuals to guide their own efforts to combat trafficking.
