Forced Labor forgotten in Anti-Trafficking Law

Forced LaborMy trip to Paraguay has ended, and after my conversation with local experts, they express their legal challenges in order to fight human trafficking:

  1. Slavery and human trafficking is also forced labor. The law in Paraguay does not recognize that smuggling people into other countries for forced labor is human trafficking. The law focuses only on fighting forced sexual exploitation.
  2. Lack of prevention and aftercare services. The law focuses on persecuting and sanctioning the crime, but not on protecting the victims, which makes it very difficult to guarantee social services and the protection of the victims of trafficking and slavery.
