Carribean recognises trafficking probelm

Human trafficking is “wreaking havock” in the Caribbean according to Caricom (The Caribbean Community Secretariat). Haitians and Dominican Republicans are believed to be among the two source countries for trafficking within the region. The increase in human trafficking is adding not only to human rights abuses, but also increasing the complexity of the HIV/AIDS problem. In response to this, Caricom is including the issue of human trafficking on its agenda for discussion at a three day meeting of its Council for Human and Social Development. Edward Greene, Caricom assistant secretary general for human and social development said;
“There were elements and traces of increases in our region and indeed what we decided to do was to put it on the agenda to sensitize the people, who do policies, with respect to social development because you have to nip things in the bud,”.
