Useful source on human trafficking

Posted on 11 June 2009 by rorie

DSC00913The United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human on Trafficking seems to be a good online source on human trafficking. I came across it just now while taking the training on basic online publishing with Newsbreak.

Trafficking in persons, according to UN.GIFT, involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

We really need to know and share information about this serious social problem. Blogging, like what we are doing now, could be a good start.
