Afghanistan Still an important source for human trafficking - IOM report

KABUL, 3 Feb 2004 (IRIN) - A new report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) argues that Afghanistan remains an important source country for human trafficking, despite improvements in the conditions of women and girls in post-conflict Afghanistan.

Trafficking in human beings is a global phenomenon and according to the Geneva-based organisation, an estimated 900,000 people are trafficked each year, while an untold number are trafficked within their countries. “Unfortunately Afghanistan is no exception to this and is confronted with a significant trafficking problem,” Richard Danziger, IOM chief of mission, told IRIN on Thursday, in the capital, Kabul.
