Stop Human Trafficking in Germany


Stop Human Trafficking in Germany
The Issue
Germany is a transit and destination country for men and women trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Victims were trafficked to Germany from other parts of Europe, Africa (primarily Nigeria), Asia, and the Western Hemisphere. Approximately one-quarter of sex trafficking victims were German nationals trafficked within the country.
Twelve percent of trafficking victims were younger than 18 years old. The majority of identified sex trafficking victims were exploited in bars and brothels. Reported incidents of forced labor occurred mainly in restaurants, catering, and the domestic work and agriculture sectors.
Sex slaves often come from Russia, go to Germany - UN
Russia is where people forced to become sex workers most commonly come from and Germany the place they most often end up working, the United Nations said Tuesday after studying thousands of cases of human trafficking.
Trafficking in unaccompanied minors for sexual exploitation in the European Union [DOC]
TRAFFICKING IN CHILDREN AND MINORS - The trafficking of UAMs with the intention of exploitation or abuse has been an issue in Germany but only sporadically during the last few years and the authors of this report believe, it is still widely considered to be of minor importance. The first signs of an increase in the level of trafficking of minors, mainly of very young children and infants from Asia or Africa to Germany, appeared as early as the 1980s with illegal adoptions. The opening of frontiers between the East and West, the breakdown of political, social and economic systems and the resultant social conflicts, has led to initial cases of trafficking in minors from Eastern Europe in addition to the trafficking in adult human beings (and in particular women). There are alarming incidents of such trafficking: the smuggling of young Eastern European girls to German brothels through prostitution rings, the exploitation of Romanian children as thieves in German cities, the exploitation of children of different nationalities as drug couriers, and especially of African girls as prostitutes. As yet however, no detailed analysis of all aspects of the phenomenon exists.
Please tell Bundeskanzlerin Mrs. Merkel to stop human Trafficking in Germany!
