Crimes such as human trafficking, forced labour and sexual exploitation of human beings should not take place in the 21st century.
The Presidency Deputy Secretary Juan Andr茅s Roballo, said 바카라 사이트減reventing and bringing to an end trafficking of people for the purpose of labour and sexual exploitation is a fundamental goal of the 바카라 사이트 of Uruguay바카라 사이트�.
Both governments work together towards the same goal.
Workshop for Ministry of Interior staff
On 14 and 15 November, Dudley, together with representatives of IOM, held two days of workshops for Ministry of Interior staff, including police and immigration officers who are most likely to encounter victims of modern slavery in their day-to-day work. The objective was to provide tools to detect cases of modern slavery and human trafficking both at the border crossings and throughout Uruguayan territory.
Modern slavery is one of the greatest human rights problems of our times. For this reason the British 바카라 사이트 understands that this is a top priority that must be addressed with a thoroughly new, global and coordinated approach to defeat this crime and defend the freedom of the people.
