Luxembourg is a destination country for
women trafficked primarily from Russia and Ukraine for the purpose of
commercial sexual exploitation. An increasing number of women from Africa,
primarily Nigeria, are engaged in prostitution in the country, and are
particularly vulnerable to trafficking due to debts they incur in the process
of migrating – legally or illegally -- to Luxembourg. The government and NGOs
did not identify any cases of forced labor during the reporting period. - U.S.

counseling assistance to women in distress. There were no
government prevention programs specifically targeting trafficking at year's

welcoming the many legislative and other measures taken by the State party to
combat and raise awareness of the problem of sexual exploitation, trafficking
in persons and child pornography, the Committee is concerned that the
conditions of work for women and girls arriving in Luxembourg to work in the entertainment
sector are such that they may be exposed to the risk of prostitution and
trafficking in human beings. Freedom House Country Report - Political Rights: 1 Civil Liberties: 1 Status: Free 2009 Edition www.freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/2009/luxembourg [accessed 26 June 2012] One in 12 children forced into world's

put an end to the exploitation of children... is by taking action to make
poverty history and ensuring a commitment to more and better international

the pledge of developed countries, made more than 30 years ago, of allocating
0.7 percent of gross domestic product to development aid but regretted that
only five countries today fulfill that promise -- Denmark, Norway, the
