Inauguration President Trump raises concern about Human Rights in US

Today, President Trump will take office as the new US President. We, with many others, are concerned that this will pose a grave threat to human rights in the United States and the world, as his campaigns promises included to round up and deport millions of immigrants and retaliate against political opponents. Moreover, when he was previously in power, his administration consistently worked against women’s rights.

We would like to remind the President – elect about the promises he made seven years ago, to take a strong stand against human trafficking. We would also like to remind him, that this is only possible when root causes are addressed and he ensures safe and legal migration opportunities, protection of human rights and women rights and decent work conditions for all, and not allowing profits being made on structural exploitation of workers.
