الصايغ Human Rights Activist to Prevent Human Trafficking Prof. Mariam AlSayegh : Human trafficking is the most popular commodity in the world of business

As a human rights activist who has dedicated my life to preventing human trafficking,
I admit that human trafficking is the most popular commodity in the world of business 12/14/2010
To this day, despite all the international conventions and global efforts
 
In Egypt, a sentence comes out spontaneously
and simply from the mouths of simple people
Where they say:
"Everything has a price these days except for humans who have no price"
 
But the conferences to stop human trafficking came to correct this very wrong idea for everyone
 
Human trafficking, this immoral trade, has today become a profitable global trade that generates an estimated 32 billion US dollars annually.
- Oops, teacher - !!!
As it provides contemporary slave traders with a continuous supply of -human goods-
 
that are sold over and over again.
There are now more than 2.4 million people who are enslaved in forced labor
in different parts of the world ...
- And what is hidden is greater -
Indeed, human trafficking has become one of the most dangerous crimes of our time and one of the most important social issues that constitute concern in the twenty-first century.
The phenomenon of human trafficking can be anywhere, such as a park where children play or ...
On the Internet where they learn and connect with the world and where women discover new horizons ...!!!
The crime of human trafficking is defined as the exploitation of a person through the use of force or violence
Or threat or fraud and deception or exploitation of a state of weakness or need ...
This exploitation takes the form of forced labor, the removal of human organs, forced labor, immoral acts and all forms of exploitation of children in begging and others.
And human traffickers exploit people's desire for a better life and to escape poverty ...
The victims are women and children who are forced by their families to work in the economic, agricultural and commercial fields.
 
So the Egyptian citizen must review his saying that he always says in times of extreme hardship, as the simple people of Egypt always say:
"If I could get money, I would sell myself to save my son or daughter"!!!
- Review yourself, citizen, there is the sale of organs and there is human trafficking and alternatives are still being proposed -!!!
The wonderful thing is that since the adoption of the Palermo Protocol on Combating Trafficking in Persons in 2000, efforts have continued to work on finding solutions to the issue of human trafficking. At the Athens Round Table, the initiative of the First Lady of Egypt, Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, was approved in 2006...

in cooperation with 16 ministries and all specialized national councils concerned with the issue.
 
Then Sheikha Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa - the wife of the King of the Kingdom of Bahrain -
held a forum in Manama: under the title "Human Trafficking.. at the Crossroads"

Then the Arab Initiative to Combat Human Trafficking was launched during the activities of the Doha Foundation Forum...

Funded by Norway at a cost of US$1 million
The business sector has also made efforts to combat human trafficking ...
In South Asia, The Body Shop launched a campaign in August 2010 ...
to urge people to sign a petition calling for the ratification of the Protocol to Prevent and Combat Trafficking in Persons ...
to include child trafficking in school curricula and to establish shelters for child victims of human trafficking.
 
Also, in September 2010, nearly 250 members of the Indian tourism industry adopted a Code of Conduct for Safe and Dignified Tourism ...
in line with the efforts of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the United Nations Global Initiative to Combat Trafficking in Persons ...
since India is a country of origin, transit and destination for victims of human trafficking.
 
Microsoft has partnered with the United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Trafficking in Persons and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) ...
to host and sponsor intensive e-learning courses that were launched in Luxor.
 
As a private sector training program, this course aims to enhance knowledge of the concept of human trafficking.
 
UNODC also sponsors anti-trafficking initiatives...
It is the custodian of the UN Protocol on Trafficking in Persons...
which is the first internationally agreed approach to combating criminals involved in the crime of human trafficking and protecting their victims.
 
UNODC works extensively with authorities in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to combat human trafficking.
 
The Luxor Forum is the fruit of the initiative of Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, which she made during the Athens Round Table in 2006

Princess Mathilde, wife of the Crown Prince of Belgium and founder of the Fund for Vulnerable Persons in Belgium, confirmed her country's commitment to combating the crime of human trafficking, explaining that no country is isolated from this crime because it is a cross-border crime. Women are at the heart of this crime, as they, in addition to children, are victims of its perpetrators.

the crime of human trafficking, which represents a flagrant violation of human rights and threatens humanity
 
She also expressed her happiness with the completion and issuance of the first Egyptian national action plan to combat human trafficking, saying:

Done. - Seriously, enough is enough -
So why did I review the activities of the forum and write about it...
I reviewed all This is to reach the following conclusion...
It is a wonderful forum, distinguished efforts
and a luxurious meeting in a distinguished place
To attract tourism and to support Egypt's leading role in the region...
But allow me to simply ask...???
What has it provided or will provide to the poor citizen - in Egypt
and around the world -
And what will it change in him and in his poverty, ignorance and social inequality
in which he drowns???
We hold many forums in closed rooms and air-conditioned halls
and spend a lot and a lot in them
And unfortunately nothing happens at all???!!!
And the strange thing is that those close to me are surprised
when they find me depressed!!!
I have only become depressed because of the amount of frustrating things
surrounding us!!!
Killers are acquitted...???!!!
And community and security men who trade in the homeland
and all its sanctities...!!!???
And honorable young men are injured, imprisoned and killed...!!!
 
I hope that the high-level national plans will include...
A look at the poor people, they also need some peace.
 
Every forum and you are well, people!!!
Be well and in love.
