thank you __PUNCT__
last year the world celebr the __NUM__ anniversari of the abolit of the british and american slave trade in __NUM__ __PUNCT__
nearli fifti __PUNCT__ six year would pass befor abraham lincoln sign the emancip proclam __PUNCT__ signal the end of slaveri in the unit state __PUNCT__
but the achiev of both countri in termin the intern slave trade and set into motion the titan and bloodi struggl to close a shame chapter in the histori of our countri should be rememb as a turn point in mankind long and fit progress toward a more just world __PUNCT__
william wilberforc had struggl for year in the british parliament to strike the lethal blow against the abomin institut that had scar western civil for centuri __PUNCT__
he wa a humbl christian man __PUNCT__ powerfulli motiv by hi faith __PUNCT__ whose exampl instruct everi person born in freedom that we have a moral oblig not to turn a blind ey to assault on the collect digniti of human wherev thei occur __PUNCT__
there is a tendenc in our ag to acced to the spuriou excus of moral relativ and turn awai from the harshest exampl of man inhuman to man __PUNCT__ to ignor the darker side of human natur that encroach upon our decenc by subtl degre __PUNCT__
there ar mani reason for thi __PUNCT__
bless with opportun __PUNCT__ and intent on the challeng of work and famili __PUNCT__ our own live often seem too full and hectic to take notic of offens that seem distant from our own realiti __PUNCT__
there is also the threat in a societi passion about it liberti that we can becom desensit to the dehuman effect of the obscen and hostil that pervad much of popular cultur __PUNCT__
it is in our natur as american to see the good in thing __PUNCT__ to face even seriou advers with hope and optim __PUNCT__
and yet __PUNCT__ with so much good in the world __PUNCT__ for all the progress of human __PUNCT__ in which our nation ha plai such an admir and import role __PUNCT__ evil still exist in the world __PUNCT__
it prei upon human digniti __PUNCT__ assault the innoc of children __PUNCT__ debas our self __PUNCT__ respect and the respect we ar moral oblig to pai each other __PUNCT__ and assail the great __PUNCT__ anim truth we believ to be self __PUNCT__ evid __PUNCT__ that all peopl have a right to life __PUNCT__ liberti and the pursuit of happi __PUNCT__ by subject countless human be to abus __PUNCT__ persecut and even slaveri __PUNCT__
confront evil ha never been easi __PUNCT__ in our ag or ani other __PUNCT__
but the failur to do so affect even those who ar complac with our own bless and secur in our human right __PUNCT__
accept the degrad of valu we believ ar univers is to relinquish some of our own human __PUNCT__
america wa found on the belief in the inher digniti of all human life and that thi digniti can onli be preserv through share respect and share respons __PUNCT__
we can retain our own freedom when other ar rob of their __PUNCT__ but not the sens of virtu that made our revolut a moral as well as polit crusad __PUNCT__ and which recogn that person happi is so much more than pleasur __PUNCT__ and requir us to serv caus greater than self __PUNCT__ interest __PUNCT__
there is no right more fundament to a free societi than the free practic of religion __PUNCT__
behind wall of prison and persecut befor our veri ey in place like china __PUNCT__ iran __PUNCT__ burma __PUNCT__ sudan __PUNCT__ north korea and saudi arabia ar ten __PUNCT__ of __PUNCT__ thousand of peopl whose onli crime is to worship god in their own wai __PUNCT__
no societi that deni religi freedom can ever rightli claim to be good in some other wai __PUNCT__
and no person can ever be true to ani faith that believ in the digniti of all human life if thei do not act out of concern for those whose digniti is assail becaus of their faith __PUNCT__
as presid __PUNCT__ i intend to make religi freedom a subject of great import for the unit state in our relat with other nation __PUNCT__
i will work in close concert with democrat alli to rais the promin of religi freedom in everi avail forum __PUNCT__
whether in bilater negoti __PUNCT__ or in variou multi __PUNCT__ nation organ to which america belong __PUNCT__ i will make respect for the basic principl of religi freedom a prioriti in intern relat __PUNCT__
there is anoth form of human oppress that persist in the world todai that demand our urgent attent and should sting the conscienc of everi good person __PUNCT__
inexcus __PUNCT__ it is a crime that __PUNCT__ while preval elsewher __PUNCT__ exist within our own border as well __PUNCT__
human traffick __PUNCT__ slaveri __PUNCT__ by anoth name __PUNCT__ exist not just in place like thailand __PUNCT__ kuwait and venezuela __PUNCT__
it is a seriou problem here in the unit state __PUNCT__
it is a tragic realiti that __PUNCT__ two hundr year after wilberforc won hi battl to end the slave trade between britain and the unit state __PUNCT__ and nearli __NUM__ year after our nation end the institut here __PUNCT__ the practic still thrive in the dark corner of our societi __PUNCT__
most of the victim of human traffick in the unit state and in most other place in the world ar the most vulner among us __PUNCT__ destitut women and children who ar sold into bondag as sex slave __PUNCT__
a __NUM__ state depart report conclud that of the estim __NUM__ to __NUM__ men __PUNCT__ women __PUNCT__ and children transport across intern border each year __PUNCT__ approxim __NUM__ percent ar women and girl __PUNCT__ and up to __NUM__ percent ar minor __PUNCT__
the state depart estim that between __NUM__ and __NUM__ human slave ar brought into the unit state __PUNCT__ mani of whom ar forc into the sex trade everi year __PUNCT__
while the past few year have seen increas effort on the part of the state and justic depart and the fbi to combat the human slave trade __PUNCT__ we must do more __PUNCT__
as presid __PUNCT__ i increas cooper and commun between all agenc of the feder govern by establish an inter __PUNCT__ agenc task forc on human traffick __PUNCT__ whose purpos will be to focu exclus on the prosecut of human traffick and the rescu of their victim __PUNCT__
the task forc will strengthen cooper between feder offici __PUNCT__ state and local law enforc and prosecutor to ensur that jurisdict issu ar not a barrier to success __PUNCT__ and that we have a coordin intern respons to thi scourg __PUNCT__
i will requir the task forc agenc to report directli to me on the statu of the problem and the progress we ar make to defeat thi stain on the reput and charact of the unit state __PUNCT__
and we will take care to show compass for victim of thi despic crime against human by make sure shelter __PUNCT__ counsel and legal assist is avail and access to them __PUNCT__
we must also do more to ensur govern that toler human traffick crack down on thi modern form of slaveri __PUNCT__
we can support effort to chang the econom incent and do more to aid the victim __PUNCT__
but we must view thi evil form of twenti __PUNCT__ first centuri slaveri everi bit as import as drug traffick __PUNCT__
all too often the same crimin network that trade in fourteen __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ old girl also trade in narcot __PUNCT__ and even in materi that can be us by terrorist __PUNCT__
identifi and destroi crimin network that evad nation boundari is also a matter of our nation secur __PUNCT__
it is also the appropri concern of a nation conceiv in liberti __PUNCT__ and dedic to the proposit that all peopl ar equal __PUNCT__ to encourag and coax other cultur into abandon practic that afflict the happi and health of women and children __PUNCT__ whether thei be practic that mutil their bodi or impos on them marriag befor their matur and without their inform consent __PUNCT__
i would insist that our diplomaci activ rais and discourag in our relationship with other countri custom that so degrad and physic threaten peopl __PUNCT__ and explain that the full benefit of friendship with the unit state ar predic on a share respect for the basic right of women and children not to suffer atroc to their physic and emot health to protect tradit that should have been end long ago __PUNCT__
while the internet ha brought mani benefit to our societi in the form of econom and educ opportun __PUNCT__ polit organ and the free exchang of idea __PUNCT__ inform and knowledg __PUNCT__ there ar those who exploit the veri pervas and anonym the medium provid to trade to prei upon our children __PUNCT__
i respect those who ar advoc for an unregul internet in defens of freedom of express __PUNCT__
howev __PUNCT__ the internet cannot be us as a safe haven for crimin and predat __PUNCT__
the home ha tradition been a safe harbor for famili __PUNCT__ where children ar safe from the danger of a world that can sometim threaten their innoc __PUNCT__
but with the prolifer of internet access __PUNCT__ come those who would rob them of their innoc through the comput we provid them to learn __PUNCT__ to social and to explor the world __PUNCT__
recent year have seen an explos both in the prolifer of child pornographi and in child sexual exploit case involv the us of the internet and email as a mean for predat to stalk and lure children __PUNCT__
i have work aggress over the year to promot the safe us of the internet and to craft legisl design to ensur that children ar secur as thei us thi transform technolog __PUNCT__
child pornographi is a terribl crime involv the abus of children and the traffick in imag of thi abus __PUNCT__
child exploit in ani form must be stop and those respons must be punish to the maximum extent of the law __PUNCT__
the fbi and justic depart __PUNCT__ as well as state and local law enforc __PUNCT__ have work aggress in recent year to arrest and prosecut those who traffic in child pornographi over the internet __PUNCT__ and who prei upon our children on __PUNCT__ line or by other mean __PUNCT__
progress ha been made __PUNCT__
just last month __PUNCT__ for exampl __PUNCT__ south carolina attornei gener henri mcmaster announc that the state internet crime against children task forc had arrest it on hundr and twenti first child predat __PUNCT__
aid with fund from the justic depart __PUNCT__ the south carolina task forc ha made signific progress in track down __PUNCT__ arrest and prosecut child predat in south carolina __PUNCT__
such feder __PUNCT__ state and local cooper is a model for success that we must build on becaus __PUNCT__ sadli __PUNCT__ across our nation crime against our children continu to rise __PUNCT__
thi is an abomin __PUNCT__ and i am firmli resolv to fight these crime with all the mean at our countri dispos __PUNCT__
as presid __PUNCT__ i will move to clear obstacl to cooper between feder agenc and their state and local counterpart to ensur maximum cooper in the pursuit and prosecut of child predat __PUNCT__
at the same time __PUNCT__ i will elev the import of intern cooper in our relat with other countri to ensur that crimin who traffic in imag of child abus find no haven or quarter in other countri __PUNCT__
todai __PUNCT__ becaus of the anonym and global reach the internet provid user __PUNCT__ we must adapt our law enforc effort accordingli __PUNCT__
for exampl __PUNCT__ compani that provid internet access and forum for content and commun also have respons as corpor citizen __PUNCT__
consequ __PUNCT__ i believ we must expand the rang of compani requir to report the exist of child pornographi when thei becom awar of it exist __PUNCT__ and impos higher fine and crimin penalti on compani that do not report child pornographi __PUNCT__
furthermor __PUNCT__ i believ those convict of prei upon our children should not be allow to hide behind the anonym of the internet __PUNCT__ which is why i am pleas to hear the justic depart __PUNCT__ consist with legisl i have been push __PUNCT__ will soon requir convict sex offend to regist their e __PUNCT__ mail and instant messag address with the depart nation registri __PUNCT__
thi approach ha been endors by sever social network websit which will to us the registri inform to __PUNCT__ scrub __PUNCT__ their site for convict sex offend __PUNCT__ make their site safer for children __PUNCT__
thi registri inform can be us by parent to check e __PUNCT__ mail and other inform to ensur that person interact with their children ar not convict sex offend prei on them __PUNCT__
our nation __PUNCT__ whose founder sacrif for the belief that we would be an exampl to the world __PUNCT__ ha long appreci that our freedom confer respons on us all __PUNCT__ and among them __PUNCT__ is our respect for the freedom of other __PUNCT__
our is not a perfect histori __PUNCT__
but it is a histori distinguish by our pursuit of thi ideal __PUNCT__
we have alwai been a countri of hope and of ideal __PUNCT__ even of audac in our belief that all good thing ar possibl here and wherev the right of man ar respect __PUNCT__
as we pursu greater individu freedom and econom opportun __PUNCT__ as we take advantag of new technolog and explor a world more access to more peopl than ever befor __PUNCT__ we must be dilig in our support of those right __PUNCT__ and in our activ opposit to the enemi of human digniti in our own societi and in all the dark corner of the world __PUNCT__
we must rememb that our freedom ar not onli defend by our diplomaci and militari power but __PUNCT__ veri importantli __PUNCT__ by the decenc and respect with which we treat on anoth __PUNCT__ and by our belief that as we our digniti is entitl to respect so ar we oblig to respect and defend the digniti of other __PUNCT__
our is a nation with a conscienc __PUNCT__ and thank god we ar __PUNCT__
as william wilberforc said so mani year ago __PUNCT__ when we think of etern __PUNCT__ and of the futur consequ of all human conduct __PUNCT__ what is there in thi life that should make ani man contradict the dictat of hi conscienc __PUNCT__ the principl of justic __PUNCT__ the law of religion __PUNCT__ and of god __PUNCT__ thank you __PUNCT__
