Against Human Trafficking a 'Must Win'' data-article-id='684'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

its fight against human trafficking.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='7029' data-end-time='13401'>The State Department’s 2015 report on human trafficking was released this week. </span> <span data-start-time='13401' data-end-time='19864'>It examines the illegal movement of people for forced labor or sex.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='19864' data-end-time='32766'>The report says human trafficking is a $150 billion a year industry that enslaves some of the world’s more than 230 million migrant workers.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='32766' data-end-time='42472'>At a State Department event Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said fighting human trafficking is a “battle against money. </span> <span data-start-time='42472' data-end-time='45057'>It’s a battle against evil.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='45057' data-end-time='49456'>He added, “It’s a fight we absolutely have to win. </span> <span data-start-time='49456' data-end-time='54921'>It is a modern day, human rights challenge of enormous proportions.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='54921' data-end-time='62268'>But there are questions about whether the wording of the report was not strong enough on some countries.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='62268' data-end-time='66553'>The report lists 23 countries as Tier 3. </span> <span data-start-time='66553' data-end-time='72766'>Those are countries that are failing to meet minimum standards to fight human trafficking. </span> <span data-start-time='72766' data-end-time='78730'>The list includes Iran, Syria, Russia and North Korea.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='78730' data-end-time='84014'>Siddharth Kara is with the Harvard Kennedy School in Massachusetts. </span> <span data-start-time='84014' data-end-time='87596'>He questioned some of the report’s findings.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='87596' data-end-time='108753'>“It’s a little curious that after 12 years on Tier 3, Cuba is upgraded shortly after the opening of diplomatic relations and Malaysia, which was on Tier 3 last year, upgraded one notch higher, around the same time that the president’s pursuing a fairly ambitious Trans-Pacific Trade program.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='108753' data-end-time='118503'>Mr. Kara and other observers wonder why the United States and its allies have not done more to help with Yazidi women and children.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='118503' data-end-time='122744'>Ameena Saeed Hasan is a Yazidi activist. </span> <span data-start-time='122744' data-end-time='130000'>She says many families are suffering because of the group known as Islamic State, or Daesh.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='130000' data-end-time='140023'>“Every time we raise this issue with the international community, they say the first objective is to defeat Daesh and this will take a very long time.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='140023' data-end-time='151043'>Activists warn the longer victims of human trafficking suffer, the worse the physical and emotional effects will be, making recovering more difficult.</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='151043' data-end-time='157438'>Secretary of State John Kerry says the report should read as a call to action. </span> <span data-start-time='157438' data-end-time='167460'>But he and others say while the progress has been made, the fight against human trafficking will surely last “for some time to come.”</span> </p><p><span data-start-time='167460' data-end-time='169819'>I’m
