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

countries there is some section of the penal code that can be invoked against
sexual abuse and exploitation. All material used herein
