The Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) leads the United States’ global engagement in the fight against human trafficking, partnering with foreign governments and civil society to develop and implement effective anti-trafficking strategies. The TIP Office works to fulfill the mandates of combating human trafficking globally as outlined in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended (TVPA), and has responsibility for bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, targeted foreign assistance, interagency coordination, and public engagement on trafficking in persons.

One of the roles of the TIP Office is to provide support for the U.S. government’s interagency coordinating bodies, the President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) and the Senior Policy Operating Group (SPOG), both established under the TVPA.  In this role, the TIP Office supports the United States Advisory Council on Human Trafficking (Advisory Council), which was established by the Survivors of Human Trafficking Empowerment Act within the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act enacted on May 22, 2015.  The Advisory Council is an independent, nongovernmental advisory body that advises and makes recommendations on federal anti-trafficking policies to the PITF.  The Council is appointed by the President for two-year terms and may serve up to two terms.
