Maloney Pushes For New Human Trafficking Control Bill

Queens-Manhattan Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney drummed up support at City Hall on Wednesday for new legislation that focuses on human trafficking.
If passed, the bill would require businesses to identify any form of abuse, trafficking, slavery or child labor practices within their supply lines and report them to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"Investors will act...with their dollars and reward those companies that are doing the right thing," said Maloney.

According to Maloney, an estimated 12.3 million people are working in some form of forced labor worldwide.
