WOMEN France Women trafficking I. Country’s Policy According to United States state department about 70% women are trafficked every year. Women are sexually exploited or obligated to do hard labor. When sexually exploited women are forced in to prostitution of other forms of sexual exploitation. When obligated to perform hard labor they could be treated as slaves, or forms of slavery and servitude. When trafficked, traffickers take away their basic human rights. Women are either taken away by being forced physically or given false promises from traffickers. Traffickers promise good jobs or opportunities like an education but eventually they force them into prostitution. Women that are trafficked are usually minorities in region; they come from poor areas or are minor because of ethnicity. In Cambodia, Bosnia, and Kosovo prostitution rapidly increased when UN and NATO peacekeeping forces moved in. Most women are highly at risk from sex trafficking. France is highly for stopping women trafficking. We strongly believe that this is disrespect fro women. Women should be treated the same no matter where they come from or what religion they are from. We want this to be stopped as soon as possible. Every day more and more innocent women are being trafficked. We propose that countries and the UN take more action in this issue. We need to put more security in places where women’s trafficking is popular. France is willing to do more than anything to stop this issue. II. UN involvement The UN has done many things with this issue. It has passed many resolutions and made protocols. It is actively involve and planning on new methods to try to stop women trafficking. Its organizations like the UNIFEM have proven that it can save women from being trafficked. UN and its work have saved many women and it is still working on abolishing this issue but it also takes the countries to put in effort. V. Solutions France supports resolution A/RES/50/167. We think that it has all the basic details about women trafficking and trying to stop it. The resolution could be amend though. Since it was written a while ago things have changed. We can mention the UNIFEM and how they could help a lot with this issue. Also we could restate certain points and make the resolution stronger and more convincing for other countries to sign it.
