Today, September 23, 2008 Archena Socialist Youth commemorates the International Day Against Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking of Women and Children.
Believe that the smuggling and trafficking of women, girls and children for sexual exploitation is the new slavery of our era and is closely linked to the feminization of poverty, war, illegal immigration and the extreme poverty of countries Africa, Asia and Latin America, mainly.
Women, boys and girls are particularly vulnerable networks and mafias are in their helplessness and precarious paid a breeding ground for sexual exploitation through prostitution, sex tourism networks and other forms of infringement the most basic human rights.
This phenomenon of crime is a reality under study: It is estimated that in Europe alone each year come more than 500,000 women and girls who are victims of sexual exploitation.
Internationally and also posted the second most profitable crime in the world and stands at 32 billion dollars a year the volume of this despicable business.
Prostitution and trafficking of women and children are intimately related and that has grown in parallel to increase them.
The lack of freedom, extortion, threats, violence and even death are carried out again against the weak, that, in addition, because the special situation of extortion, are invisible to society.
In May this year, Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega said at the opening of the third conference "Women for a Better World ', announced that Spain will enter the fight against trafficking in Human Rights Plan, that the government wants prepared before the end of the year.
On June 12, the Minister for Equality also announced for this Legislature to enact a Comprehensive Plan to Combat Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation, especially women and children.
Young Socialists openly join this initiative because our organization is strongly against this gruesome trade, unjust and inhumane, and because "abolish slavery will make us better and more worthy as human beings."
