Human Trafficking is
the recruiting,
transporting,
transferring,
harboring or
receiving persons by
means of threat or
use of force or
other forms of
coercion, abduction,
fraud, deception,
abuse of power or of
position, taking
advantage of the
vulnerability of the
person or the giving
or receiving of
payments or benefits
to achieve the
consent of a person
having control over
another person for
the purpose of
exploitation (UAE
Federal Law 51). The
majority of persons
trafficked are women
and children. The
phenomenon is
complex, arising
from the interaction
of poverty, labor
migration, conflict,
or political unrest.
The UAE is committed
to stopping human
trafficking and has
ratified the United
Nations Convention
against
Transnational
Organized Crime and
has formed the UAE
National Committee
to Combat Human
Trafficking. |
