  • Of all of the countries in the Americas, Brazil imported the most slaves from Africa and was the last to officially abolish slavery.
  • In 2002, the ILO and the Brazilian government initiated a technical cooperation project called “Combating Forced Labour”. Since then, around 50,000 workers have been freed from slave-like conditions in Brazil.
  • ccfuentez on 22 Feb 16
     
    Although slavery has been abolished for years, forced labor has since taken its place. In a recent report, 240 Brazilian companies were caught employing people in slave-like conditions between May 2013 and May 2015. The companies were associated with clothing sweatshops, farming and cattle ranching, timber and charcoal production, and construction. These people work seven days a week without pay and had no running water or toilets

Algeria human-trafficking Tier 3 illegal immigrant prostitution

shared by ccfuentez on 26 Jan 16 - No Cached
  • Algeria is a transit and, to a lesser extent, a destination and source country for women, and, to a lesser extent, men subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking; criminal networks, which sometimes extend to sub-Saharan Africa and to Europe, are involved in both human smuggling and trafficking; sub-Saharan adults enter Algeria voluntarily but illegally, often with the aid of smugglers, for onward travel to Europe, but some of the women are forced into prostitution; some Algerian women are also forced into prostitution; some sub-Saharan men, mostly from Mali, are forced into domestic servitude
  • Algeria does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so
  • ccfuentez on 26 Jan 16
     
    Human trafficking is an often occurrence in Algeria where men and women are illegally smuggled in and through the country. Men are typically subjected to force labor or prostitution while women are more commonly forced into prostitution. Algeria is currently rated a Tier 3 which means they are making no significant changes to end the human trafficking.

    Algeria is a country of origin and transit for trafficking in persons, women men and children, for forced labor, sexual exploitation and organ harvesting. Victims from Sub-Sahara Africa enter Algeria voluntarily and are trafficked to Europe. Men are primarily subjected to forced labor while women become part of the prostitution chain, paying off their smuggling debts.

Empowering Women, Developing Society: Female Education in the Middle East and North Africa - 2 views

  • Selected Socioeconomic Indicators in the Middle East and North Africa
  • he United Nations has articulated the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which include goals for improved education, gender equality, and women's empowermen
  • The region's oil-based economy, which produced tremendous wealth in some MENA countries, reinforces the region's gender roles. In a number of MENA countries, the use of capital-intensive technologies that require few workers, along with relatively high wages for men, have precluded women's greater involvement in the labor force.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • In addition, the benefits of female education for women's empowerment and gender equality are broadly recognized:
  • While 53 percent of the women said that the decision should depend on the children's capabilities, 39 percent said that the son should go to the university, compared with only 8 percent who said that the daughter should go. The survey also found that mothers of children who had never attended school were more likely to cite the cost of education as a reason for not educating their daughters than for not educating their sons.
  • As women's educational attainment in MENA countries has increased, more women have moved into the job market. But women's participation in the labor force is still low: Only 20 percent of women ages 15 and older in MENA countries are in the labor force — the lowest level of any world region.
  • But those rates are lower than rates found outside the region. In France, for example, women make up 45 percent of the labor force; in Indonesia, which is home to the world's largest Muslim population, women make up 38 percent of the labor force.16
  • Women in MENA countries are twice as likely to be illiterate as men are and make up two-thirds of the region's illiterate adults. The gender gaps in education vary greatly across countries in the region but are generally wider in countries where overall literacy and school enrollment are lower. In Yemen, for example, the illiteracy rate among young women (54 percent) is triple that of young men (17 percent). But countries that make political and financial commitments to reducing illiteracy, as Jordan and Tunisia have, generally see significant improvements in reducing illiteracy and narrowing the gender gap (see Figure 6).

  • Millions of migrant workers flood to the Middle East from some of the world's poorest countries in search of paid work they won't find at home.
  • But for some, the journey doesn't end as they hope. Instead, they become victims of human trafficking, forced labor and sexual exploitation.
  • "They were lured into jobs that either didn't exist or that were offered under conditions that were very different from what they were promised in the first place," she said.

  • ccfuentez on 26 Jan 16
     
    Recommendation for Algeria to handle the human trafficking issue include punishing those convicted with imprisonment and help those who fall victim to forced labor or prostitution instead of imprisoning the forced laborers. Many NGOs do not report trafficking crimes to the police for fear of arrest and deportation.

human trafficking slavery guest workers criminal behavior international criminal law

shared by ccfuentez on 22 Feb 16 - No Cached
  • From a legal perspective “slavery” is categorized under criminal behavior. The elements of a criminal act, i.e. intent and knowledge as well as the act, are all applied in its analysis and judgment.
  • If forced labor is defined as modern-day slavery, almost the entire international community would be involved in this crime, especially those countries that invite “guest workers.”
  • ccfuentez on 22 Feb 16
     
    This article compares human trafficking to slavery and gives a stance not typical to my other articles. The author supports the notion of "guest workers" and says if it were known as slavery, then the host country and the respective home country would both be an accomplice to the crime.
