Navajo Nation takes stance against human trafficking » National Native News
At the start of the Navajo Nation's new winter legislative session, President Russell Begaye made it clear which issue sits high on the leadership’s agenda. Begaye signed a proclamation aimed at raising awareness of human trafficking in and around the border-towns of the sprawling reservation. In August, Begaye enacted a tribal council resolution to criminalize the sex slave trade within the reservation borders, something the International Labour Organization estimates is a $150 billion industry worldwide.
