The National Committee for the Prevention of Human Trafficking met today. Prime Minister Vlad Filat, who presided it, said that the prevention of human trafficking is a priority for the new Government. Mr. Filat also stressed that he would like for prevention strategies to be implemented efficiently.
Reports presented by various officials during the meeting show that, in the first ten months of 2009, authorities registered 452 criminal acts related to human trafficking, including 172 cases of trafficking of adults; 36 cases of trafficking of children; 18 cases of the illegal removal of children from the country; 130 cases of prostitution; and 96 cases of the organization of illegal migration.
Moldova is often mentioned in international reports as an important source of human trafficking. The victims tend to be poor and uninformed. Many of them come from Moldovan villages.
