Governments and NGOs have committed much time, money, and effort to the reduction of human trafficking around the world. The United States enforced the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000 in order to track and shut down trafficking organizations. Following 9/11, the United States has additionally tightened security, making it more difficult for traffickers to transport individuals into the United States (Soderlund 4, 11). The Bush Administration has also taken on sex trafficking as a "key humanitarian issue" during the government's War on Terror (Soderlund 8-9). The Untied States government and others work in cooperation with many NGOs that work to identify trafficking victims and intervene before individuals are exploited or hurt.

Despite the actions of these organizations and governments, as well as the spending of millions of dollars, much work still needs to be done to even understand the extent to which sex trafficking occurs in the twenty-first century.
