Trafficking in persons is modern day slavery. It involves the exploitation of men, women, and children for sex and for labor. Trafficking in persons is a crime in the United States and in most countries. The United States has long had a zero-tolerance policy regarding government employees and contractor personnel engaging in any form of this criminal behavior. As the largest single purchaser of goods and services in the world, the USG bears a responsibility to ensure that taxpayer dollars do not contribute to trafficking in persons. Title 17 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2013 and FAR Subpart 22.17 requires Federal contractors to work proactively to prevent human trafficking in their supply chains and take remedial steps if trafficking in persons is identified. This set of resources is designed for DoD Acquisition Personnel, including, contracting officer (KO), contracting officer’s representative (COR), the Senior Procurement Executive (SPE), and any other DoD personnel involved in contracting and procuration for the U.S. DoD.
This Resource is divided into five Platforms. Each Platform has Action Cards, which include videos, resource guides, one-pagers, infographics, case studies, survivor stories, pocket cards, or other resources for Acquisition Personnel. This Resource can be viewed from beginning to end, or you can locate the specific Resource you need and jump around as necessary.
