Abstract
A speech by the Hon. Sarah Sewall at CSIS in Washington, DC addressing human trafficking into and from fragile or conflict-affected states. A quote: “Terrorism’s nexus to trafficking is not new – the so-called language schools that sex traffickers used as visa mills were the institutes that provided visa paperwork to the 9/11 hijackers – but the connection between terrorism and trafficking has been brought to the fore by ISIL and Boko Haram. These groups have proudly professed practicing slavery, justifying their actions with a perverse interpretation of Islam.”
