Human trafficking, including both sex and labor trafficking, has profound consequences for the safety, health, and well-being of victims and survivors. Efforts to address human trafficking through prevention, protection, and prosecution are growing but remain insufficient. Mandatory reporting has the potential to bring victims and survivors to the attention of social service and law enforcement agencies but may discourage trafficked persons from seeking help, thereby limiting the ability of health care professionals to establish trust and provide needed care. States' experience in implementing child abuse laws can be useful in assessing the potential risks and benefits of mandatory reporting of human trafficking.
人口贩运，包括性贩运和劳动贩运，对受害者和幸存者的安全、健康及福祉产生深远影响。通过预防、保护和起诉来应对人口贩运的努力在不断增加，但仍显不足。强制报告有可能让社会服务机构和执法机构注意到受害者和幸存者，但可能会使被贩运者不愿寻求帮助，从而限制了医疗保健专业人员建立信任并提供所需护理的能力。各州在实施虐待儿童法律方面的经验，有助于评估强制报告人口贩运的潜在风险和益处。
