TOPIC A: Discussing the 250 student kidnaping in Nigeria.

 

After long years of struggling against kidnap one of the most severe human rights violation, someone somewhere is still disappeared or kidnapped. As we know when a person is kidnapped they are being restrict from the most basic rights of each human being. Such as the right to security and dignity, right to not be tortured, right to truth, right to family and life; and one of the most important violations: the right to freedom.

The past April more than 300 girls of Deborah’s School were kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.

Some of them have been released but 276 are still missing.

The International Coalition Against Enforced Disappearances has gathered in March of the current year to discuss possible solutions and reinforce security measures.

Unfortunately the majority of the kidnapped girls haven’t been released. Boko Haram is asking for ransom to set free their victims, but in the mean time girls are being sold to forced marriage and into harsh labor.

The government has not been able to find and accurate solution to bring the girls back. Those are the reasons why for UN it is of major importance to prevent and solve this kinds of problems.

 

 

 

 

 

TOPIC B: Trafficking of Women for Sexual Exploitation and its Implications for Illegal Immigration in Western Europe

 

Trafficking women for sexual exploitation purposes, has become an issue of major concern all around the globe. The main reason it’s because its impressive growth in the past few years. It is estimated that over one and two million women are trafficked each year worldwide for force labor.

Trafficking means transportation or harboring of persons, for the purpose of exploitation. Obtaining a profit from sexual exploitation has become the modern way of slavery.

This illicit activity is caused by multiple factors such as; poverty, gender-based discrimination or a history of sexual and physical violence that makes the victims more vulnerable for traffickers.

Trafficking encompasses issues of human rights and rule of law as well as inequality and discrimination.

UN is doing several action plans such as financial aid, financial and psychological support, etc. to decrease or stop the growth of this issue, but there are many actions to take in order to find the most effective way to eradicate in the future the women trafficking for sexual exploitation.
