Colombia: Newfangled Human Trafficking
Bogota, Aug 24 (Prensa Latina) Colombia harbors new ways of human trafficking involving young children, body parts, labor exploitation and recruitment for the domestic armed conflict.
Adriana Ruiz, coordinator of the UN anti-Trafficking Project, added that human trafficking now joins traditional trafficking of women for sex slavery in Europe and Asia.
Although she lacked precise numbers, Ms. Ruiz denounced theft of babies and a worrying traffic of organs like ovaries and ovules, as well as labor exploitation via domestic service.
Ruiz called human trafficking a modern variant of slavery since the victims are lured with false promises and turned into victims of racial discrimination, low salaries and sexual abuse.
She called for major UN concern over the domestic and international scope of this phenomena and mentioned as example the recent death of two Colombians in the Sinai desert.
The UN official added that the routes for human trafficking coincide with those of drugs, like the Caribbean as sea route to foment sex tourism and forced prostitution
