The Chargé d'Affairs of the United States Embassy, Natalie Baker, said that the State of Qatar has made great progress in combating human trafficking, noting the establishment of the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking in 2017, and a unit specialized in trafficking crimes, and in a press statement, she referred to US President Joe Biden's announcement on December 30, 2021 to designate January 2022 as a national awareness month to prevent and combat human trafficking.

Her Excellency continued, "Around 24.9 million people are exposed to some form of human trafficking around the world, including in the United States, and the impact of the Corona pandemic continues to make millions more vulnerable to exploitation by human traffickers."

Her Excellency explained that since 2010, every US president has designated January as a national month for awareness of combating human trafficking in accordance with a presidential declaration, stressing that US embassies and consulates in various countries of the world have an important role in raising awareness about human trafficking patterns and ways to identify and address this crime.
