  1. I think it is very upset to know that we are trusting on governments which are not able to make us feel safe.
    I can not make my mind that the real world is cruel, but it is hard to imagine that someday is going to be better.
    The stupid differences have to be eliminated such as hunger, suffer, and discrimination because we are all human beings and we all have hearts.
    The future is just a part of our present...so what will be the consequences?

  2. I belive that Human Traffiking is one of the most terrible crime where people are denied from their freedon, they are continually abused and compelled to prostitute or forced labour.
    People of all ages are kidnapped every day, one case that attracked the public attention is "Marita Veron" who was kidnapped in the northwestern province of Tucumán in 2.002.
    Recently, I have watched on the local news "Video Tar Noticias" that internal trafficking has had a substantial development in Argentina, Tucuman and Misiones are the provinces with the highest numbers of victims and Salta has joined to these provinces. A television channel also made a mini-series about this topic, it was called Stolen Lives.
    Well, I tend to believe that not only the police but also Gendarmerie are involved for instance they should monitor the movement of people across the border...Do they really do this?? the only thing I know is that this criminal networks are extremelly powerful.
    Human Traffiking is a serious problem that we as a society have to face.

  3. In our country Human Trafficking is alarming!It is not only prostitution where Mafiosi kindap especially young girls and forced them to work for their own benefits, or sometimes these criminals entice them offering a better job. But also it means labor explotation in clandestine factories,in general they are citizens from others countries living in poor conditions.I think if all people who know the trafickers say who are they to the authorities, they could successfully identify them. At the same time the government should provide more jobs, in this way people won´t feel the necessity to work illegally.

  4. Nowaday Human Trafficking is becoming the problem more common in our society. We can hear in the news that today exists more or less a case per day; this situation occur not only in big cities like Buenos Aires but also here Mosconi and its surroundings.
    Frecuently all the cases are suffered by KIDS or YOUNG people what makes this problem more alarming.
    A few days ago I heard on the local radio´s news that a little girl from Aguaray between 9 and 11 years old was a prissioner of an organization which took herto the south of our country with only one purpose "Prostitute her". She was there for nine month!; fortunatelly she is save now with an adoptive family because the persons that facilitate the work for the traffickers were her MOTHER and GRNDMOTHER. Of course she needs lot of support and contention to help her to forget the things sehe suuffered.
    However there are millons of cases similar to this; due to this I ask to anybody who knows about some case that please tells the police inmediately!
    I think if all of us colaborate a bit we can reduce the number of victims!...

  5. People-trafficking has increased in our country. Trafficked people are women as men and their living conditions are very precarious, they can also be children or adult people. They are often exploited in many labour sectors like domestic service, prostitution or drug-trafficking.
    I do not know if the government is doing something to stop people-trafficking, but I always listen that there are many traffickers operating with impunity inside and outside of country.
    I hope that this situation finishes or at least it can disminish.
