Trafficking in human beings between Zimbabwe and South Africa has reached alarming proportions. On average 7,000 people per month are affected. Most victims are forced into prostitution by gangs of traffickers.
According to a report just released by the organization ZimRights (Human Rights in Zimbabwe), traffickers prey especially for people who leave the country without sufficient information. Women and children fleeing the political and economic problems of Zimbabwe, attracted by promises of jobs in South Africa are most affected. A large number of these individuals has been forced into prostitution by a network of human traffickers. The report indicates that traffickers are most often at Beitbridge border post where they receive an advance fee for transportation their customers illegally to South Africa.
Mauritania: President of the IRA and five of its members convicted for their abolitionist activities
Slavery in Mauritania continues to exist although it was abolished in 1981. It concerns the descendants of black slaves generations ago that are now called "black Moors" or Haratins in Mauritania and in part still work as slaves for the "white Moors" or Bidhan. We do not know the exact number of slaves in this country, but it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands. The expert Modern Slavery Kevin Bales estimates that the proportion of slaves in the total population is the highest in the world.
The Mauritanian government denies the existence of slavery in the country. There are organizations in Mauritania as El Hor''SOS''and''Slave''struggling against slavery. On August 8, 2007, the country's parliament passed a law criminalizing slavery, punishable by ten years emprisonnement1.
