Bulgaria Children - the victims of human trafficking

4 May 2009 |

‘FOCUS’ Information Agency reports that during the forum “Combating Child Trafficking: Challenges, Promising Practices and Cooperation", organised in Sofia the regional coordinator of UN services for narcotics and crimes, Carla Chivarella said children were a key group in human trafficking in Southeastern Europe. According to Chivarella the problem that impedes an effective fight against child trafficking in Bulgaria is the lack of data and information, because these children (mostly Roma) haven’t even a formal registration in the relevant institution.
