"Up to 27 million people are living in slavery around the world,"
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced as the US unveiled
its annual report on human trafficking.
185 countries are included in the report of US State Department. They
are divided into three classes. The third class is considered the
blacklist including 16 countries. Algeria, the Democratic Republic
of Congo, North Korea, Saudi Arabia are among them.
For the first time Syria has also appeared in the blacklist. Armenia
and Azerbaijan are among the 42 countries of the second class. Georgia
is in the first class.
Armenia is defined as a source country for women and girls subjected
to sex trafficking, as well as a source country for women and men
subjected to forced labor. To a lesser extent it is viewed as a
destination country for women subjected to forced labor. Women and
girls from Armenia are subjected to sex trafficking in the United
Arab Emirates and Turkey, and within the country.
The Department of State experts find that the Government of Armenia
does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination
of trafficking though it is making significant efforts to do so.
