Human trafficking challenges for CARICOM states
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados -THE LATEST Trafficking In Persons (TIP) report by the United States Department of State, valuable as it is, is a reminder that countries of the Caribbean region are back in that cycle of recurring admonition from Washington as lacking in vigorous commitment to combat this horrible crime against humanity.
There is no doubting the fact that in the United States, not just the CARICOM region but nations across the global community have a strong ally to arrest the crime of trafficking in persons, among them being women and even young children as victims of sex exploitation and slave labour.
What, however, remains a difference of significance in annual TIP reports from the State Department from those generally released by the United Nations is that the world body avoids being judgmental and is more realistic when offering global appraisals of official efforts to face up to this shocking, inhumane, degrading crime across continents.
