'TIP is a worldwide problem posing a transnational threat involving violations of basic human rights.

The Department of Defense has a zero tolerance policy for TIP.

TIP is the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel a person to provide labor or services or commercial sex. TIP involves exploitation of all types. TIP can include elements of recruiting, harboring, transportation, providing, or obtaining a person for the purpose of exploitation. The three most common forms of trafficking are:
