Human Trafficking into Pakistan and out of it for Sex.

Women and girls........ The entry on Pakistan begins thus, “Pakistan is a source, transit, and destination country for victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons. Women and girls from Bangladesh, India, Burma, Afghanistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are trafficked to Pakistan for commercial sexual exploitation and bonded labour. Girls and women from rural areas are trafficked within the country to urban centres for commercial and sexual exploitation and involuntary domestic servitude. Women trafficked from East Asian countries and Bangladesh to the Middle East often transit through Pakistan for bonded labour and domestic servitude. Boys are trafficked to Persian Gulf states for use as camel jockeys. Children are trafficked internally for forced begging and bonded labour.” (K.Hassan. June12)
