Trafficking in Women and Girls: A Human Rights Violation
Trafficking in women and girls is an increasing problem that involves both sexual exploitation and labor exploitation of its victims. Trafficking affects all regions and the majority of countries in the world. Both men and women may be victims of trafficking, but the primary victims worldwide are women and girls, the majority of whom are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Traffickers primarily target women because they are disproportionately affected by poverty and discrimination, factors that impede their access to employment, educational opportunities and other resources. In this session we will present information about the growing problem of trafficking in women and girls and the international movement to combat this problem.
