Human trafficking in Palestine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human trafficking in Palestine has been observed and reported by some sources.
Studies
In December 2009, a 26-page report was published by SAWA, from United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM),[1] which included that there is a lack of data collection on human trafficking in Palestine.[2] The report calls on Palestinian governmental organizations to establish new legislation that should guarantee that females are treated as victims of crime and not offenders.[1]
Factors
Vast poverty and lack of economic scope have been cited as major factors in human trafficking in the Palestinian territories. Other activities includes sex exploitation and child labor.[3]
