It is encouraging to see responsible people and the Suzanne Mubarak Women’s International Peace Movement taking the issue of human trafficking seriously and galvanizing support to attack the problem in a meaningful way. We are acutely aware of the havoc it reaps on families and communities in developing countries.  It is going to take education, economic development and cooperation at all levels of government and the private sector to take away the causes that underpin these horrific practices. International institutions and wealthier nations should take an increasing interest in deterring demand. We look forward to working with you to eradicate the curse of human trafficking.
