Mexico tending towards prostitution abolition ?

Published on Monday, 23 January 2017 15:46

Could Mexico adopt an abolitionist legislation inspired by the la loi française d’avril 2016  ? In this country which is very much affected by prostitution and human trafficking, abolitionists gather their powers while the debate intensifies ; several recent attempts at liberalizing the sex market have failed, which favours high hopes in this direction. All the higher than Rosi Orozco, a former congresswoman and chair of the Comision Unidos Vs Trata, has met, during a stay in Europe, her French partners, the Fondation Scelles in particular, and communicated with them on the French model.

A Security Council Resolution to condemn Human Trafficking in Conflict Zones

Published on Wednesday, 21 December 2016 17:23

The Security Council has just adopted a resolution which strongly and unanimously condemns human trafficking with purposes of sexual slavery, exploitation and forced labor in conflict zones.

It has become most urgent to implement everything likely to put an end to these practices and condemn their perpetrators.
