18 Oct 2011 | thb

‘Europa Press Releases’ reports that the European Commission has published a report on the EU Anti-trafficking day, on the implementation of the Directive on the residence permits issued to victims of trafficking. “Trafficking in human beings, whether it is called forced labour or sexual exploitation, is a terrible crime and should be called by its right name: modern slavery. Fighting it is a top priority for me and we must mobilise all instruments of action to reinforce prevention, law enforcement and victim protection”, said Cecilia Malmström, EU Commissioner for Home Affairs. The EU Anti-Trafficking Day has been established on October 18 every year.
