TRAFFICKING OF PEOPLE IN ARMENIA DOES NOT STOP
Support A1+!According to the data provided by the UN, about 1000 Armenian women work as prostitutes in the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, at that most of them fell victims to trafficking. The Armenian government attempts to achieve the standards of extirpation of the trafficking of people, however not very successful so far.
Last year Armenia was included in the 2-ng category of states under observation. To note, Article 132 of the Criminal Code calls for 4-8 years of imprisonment for the trafficking of people. However last year 15 out of 16 verdicts were passed in accord with Article 262, which calls for light punishment. And only once the accusation for trafficking was charged.
