TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS
- However,
most parents and relatives were convinced that they were sending such
children to work in the UAE or
elsewhere as models, dancers, waitresses, or domestic servants. Traffickers
themselves were often ex-prostitutes or pimps who have already established
"good working contacts" in the country of destination. They were
well organized, have connections with local authorities and were supported
and protected by criminal gangs. 5.1 Middle East - State of ECPAT International, Looking Back Thinking Forward,

dealt with more generally under headings such as ‘violence’ and
‘trauma’. This means that there has
been no regional consensus on defining CSEC in law; in some countries, for
example, it is looked upon as an indecent act, in others as rape, although in
all 20 countries there is some section of the penal code that can be invoked
against sexual abuse and exploitation. All
