The 2006 CIA World Factbook

by United States. Central Intelligence Agency

United Arab Emirates
current situation: the United Arab Emirates is
a destination country for men, women, and children trafficked from
South and East Asia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East for
involuntary servitude and for sexual exploitation; an estimated
10,000 women from sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, South and East
Asia, Iraq, Iran, and Morocco may be victims of sex trafficking in
the UAE; women also migrate from Africa, and South and Southeast
Asia to work as domestic servants, but may have their passports
confiscated, be denied permission to leave the place of employment
in the home, or face sexual or physical abuse by their employers;
men from South Asia come to the UAE to work in the construction
industry, but may be subjected to conditions of involuntary
servitude as they are coerced to pay off recruitment and travel
costs, sometimes having their wages denied for months at a time;
victims of child camel jockey trafficking may still remain in the
UAE, despite a July 2005 law banning the practice; while all
identified victims were repatriated at the government's expense to
their home countries, questions persist as to the effectiveness of
the ban and the true number of victims
tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - UAE is placed on the Tier 2 Watch
List for its failure to show increased efforts to combat trafficking
in 2005, particularly in its efforts to address the large-scale
trafficking of foreign girls and women for commercial sexual
exploitation

Uzbekistan
current situation: Uzbekistan is a source and, to a
lesser extent, a transit country for women trafficked to Asia and
the Middle East for the purpose of sexual exploitation; women from
other Central Asian countries and China are trafficked through
Uzbekistan; men are trafficked for purposes of forced labor in the
construction and agricultural industries to Ukraine, Russia,
Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan; men and women are also trafficked within
the country
tier rating: Tier 3 - Uzbekistan is placed on Tier 3 because it
failed to fulfill commitments by the country to take additional
steps during 2005, including the adoption of comprehensive
anti-trafficking legislation, criminal code amendments to raise
trafficking penalties, support to the country's first trafficking
shelter, and approval of a national action plan

Venezuela
current situation: Venezuela is a source, transit, and
destination country for women and children trafficked for the
purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor; women and children
from Colombia, China, Peru, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic are
trafficked to and through Venezuela and subjected to commercial
sexual exploitation or forced labor; Venezuelans are trafficked
internally and to Western Europe, particularly Spain and the
Netherlands, and to countries in the Caribbean region for commercial
sexual exploitation; Venezuela is a transit country for illegal
migrants from other countries in the region and for Asian nationals,
some are believed to be trafficking victims
tier rating: Tier 3 - Venezuela does not fully comply with the
minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not
making significant efforts to do so

World
current situation: about 600,000 to 800,000 people, mostly
women and children, are trafficked annually across national borders,
not including millions trafficked within their own countries; at
least 80% of the victims are female; 75% of all victims are
trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation; roughly two-thirds
of the global victims are trafficked intra-regionally within East
Asia and the Pacific (260,000 to 280,000 people) and Europe and
Eurasia (170,000 to 210,000 people)

Zimbabwe
current situation: Zimbabwe is a source, transit, and
destination country for women and children trafficked for forced
labor and sexual exploitation; children may be trafficked internally
for forced agricultural labor, domestic servitude, and sexual
exploitation; women and girls are lured out of the country to South
Africa, China, Egypt, and Zambia with false job or scholarship
promises that result in domestic servitude or commercial sexual
exploitation; there are reports of South African employers demanding
sex from undocumented Zimbabwean workers under threat of
deportation; women and children from Malawi, Zambia, and the
Democratic Republic of the Congo transit Zimbabwe en route to South
Africa; small numbers of South African girls are trafficked to
Zimbabwe for domestic labor
tier rating: Tier 3 - Zimbabwe does not fully comply with the
minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not
making significant efforts to do so
