President Obama's remarks @ClintonGlobal Initiative have concluded. Video & transcript will be posted at http://wh.gov/live . #CGI2012
President Obama: Our fight against #humantrafficking is one of the great human rights causes of our time & the US will continue to lead it.
President Obama: "Today, we say to them and the millions like them—we see you. We hear you. We insist on your dignity."
President Obama on #humantrafficking at #CGI2012: "This cycle can be broken; victims can become not only survivors, but leaders."
President Obama: "Finally, every citizen can take action. By learning more & by going to the website we helped create: http://slaveryfootprint.org "
President Obama: "But no government, no nation, can meet this challenge alone. Everyone has a responsibility. Every nation can take action."
President Obama: "We’re making it clear that American tax dollars must never be used to support the trafficking of human beings. Never."
Obama: "I’ve signed a new executive order that raises the bar. It’s specific about the prohibitions & does more to protect workers."
President Obama: "Third, we’ll do even more to help victims recover and rebuild their lives."
President Obama: "Second…just as they use technology and the Internet to exploit their victims, we’ll harness technology to stop them."
President Obama: "But with more than 20 million victims of #humantrafficking around the world...we've got a lot more to do."
Obama: "Last year, we charged a record number of these predators with #humantrafficking. We’re putting them where they belong—behind bars."
President Obama: "The bitter truth, however, is that #humantrafficking also goes on right here, in the United States."
President Obama at #CGI2012 on #humantrafficking: "Nations must speak with one voice—our people, our children, are not for sale."
President Obama on #humantrafficking: "It’s barbaric, it’s evil, and it has no place in a civilized world."
President Obama: "I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of #humantrafficking, which must be called by its true name—modern slavery."
President Obama: "Today, I want to discuss an issue that...ought to concern every person, because it’s a debasement of our common humanity."
President Obama: “Good afternoon everybody! President Clinton, thank you for your very kind introduction.” #CGI2012
