U.S. would set tougher rules for how foreign countries fight sex trafficking.
The U.S. would use tougher standards to assess how foreign countries fight sex trafficking. This bill would require countries to show serious efforts to ban buying sex, educate buyers about exploitation, and reduce international sex tourism. These new rules would take effect immediately if signed into law.
Today, the U.S. reviews foreign countries' efforts to reduce demand for buying sex using existing rules under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. would replace those rules with new, more specific standards. These new standards would require foreign governments to show serious efforts in banning buying sex, educating buyers, and reducing international sex tourism.
