Human Trafficing in the Middle East

DID YOU KNOW each year an estimated 600,000 – 800,000 humans are trafficked though international boarders in the middle east. For more information please go to http://www.humantrafficking.org/regions/middle_east_and_north_aftrica

Delegate, be aware that Egypt has made amendments to protection laws to avoid this(particularly for children) since 2008. Even Syria, Pakistan,Jordan and Turkey are involved with trafficking. Women are offered jobs in Dubai and then get everything taken away and directed to these countries.Israel, despite the decline of trafficking in 2007(from 3,000 individuals per year to less than 1,000),is still a destination for exploited women and children, who get sold for 8-10 thousand dollars(each individual) Human trafficking in the middle east creates 32 billion dollars per year so it is hard to stop. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia, expected to implant human trafficking education is schools, has done nothing and is the most affected country. Thank you for bringing such an important issue up in this MUN.

delegates, check this article out about the allies in the combat of human trafficking in the middle east,

iraq,
stop messing with Israel, it is currently a role model to the middle eastern countries facing human trafficking. you said it yourself, that Israel has reduced the number from 3,000 to less than 1,000.

what kind of solutions is the U.A.E. proposing in the resolution ???

How is Iraq "messing" with Israel?

Who is passing people from where to where? What are the countries where most of the people go from and which are the main countries of where the people go to? Why is this going on? What is the porpuse of this human trafficking?

Does Egypt have anything to do with the human trafficking? are some people coming from or going to Egypt?

I am going to write my postion paper on this topic so i would appreciate if the UAE delegation would go more into detail on what is going on. And like Gui said does Egypt have anything to do with this?

I would also like to know how Egypt is involved in this and whether the UN has passed any resolutions, or has taken action to this problem.

Iraq is currently involved... Women have been going into prostitution. And being trafficked.

Delegates of UAE, what are some solutions to human trafficking you are proposing?

We are proposing for countries to invest in anti-human trafficking organizations and also suggesting that country leaders work with the UNODC to create laws.

I did some research and this is what i got,

Egypt is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation. Some of Egypt’s estimated one million street children – both boys and girls – are exploited in prostitution and forced begging. Local gangs are, at times, involved in this exploitation. Egyptian children are recruited for domestic and agricultural labor; some of these children face conditions indicative of involuntary servitude, such as restrictions on movement, non-payment of wages, threats, and physical or sexual abuse. - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June 2009

Hope that helped,
Delegate of Iraq

Delegate, Egypt is already coming up with a solution increasing to police the borders of Sinai and Sudan which are the major traffickers for this immigration.

Yes, I have done my position paper on this topic, so i have researched and yes Egypt does play a big role in it with at least 1 million young children and women that are illegal trafficked into Egypt.
The delegation of Egyt is fully willing to give full support to the resolution of this topic which is now affecting all of the countries of the Middle East.

Dear fellow Delegates, here are some good sites about Human Trafficking and how Egypt is involved in it:
