Sold Into Sex Slavery

By Leah Ally

Human trafficking is a global issue that is often overlooked by many. Women and children are often targeted because they are the most vulnerable sources of society. Luckily in Europe, specifically Hungary, there are many hotlines to support mentally and physically abused women and children. The NANE’s Women’s Right Association is the only NGO running a hotline for assaulted women and children. NANE teamed up with vodaphone, which will allow 20 devices to send an alarm and target woman in their exact location of danger, now women can expect police in their exact location of danger. Top Cop Security and iData engineering have helped to sponsor them. UN.Gift, which was introduced in March 2007, think that human trafficking is a crime and cannot be dealt with by the government alone. UN.Gift’s mission is to eliminate human trafficking by reducing the vulnerability in victims by providing them with support. 161 countries are reported effected by human trafficking and commission has promised to pass new rules for tougher fighting against this issue.
