Question 29577 — fundamental rights

Summary

Mrs Laurence Gayte draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to international trafficking in women. Even today, some countries in the Middle East do not apply international policies to combat trafficking in human beings and women in particular. For example, a large number of migrant workers from Asia have been victims in this region for a long time. Countries like Bahrain, Arabia Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are considered the main final destinations for these workers on the verge of becoming slaves. It is necessary to note a major and very alarming development in recent years: the increasing proportion that the “trafficking” of women is taking up at the heart of this appalling industry. Indeed, these women are often victims of gangs and the failure of the States of which they are nationals, to take real coercive measures to put a stop to this inhumane business. A report entitled "A Journey to the Unknow" from a number of human rights organizations revealed that human trafficking from Eastern Europe, Moldova in particular, to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates as well as Bahrain is dramatic due, above all, to the fact that no action or measure is put in place by European states in order to curb this scourge. The MP would therefore like to know France's actions to combat this unacceptable situation a few hours by plane from Paris. She asks him what France's foreign and especially European policy is so that this barbaric traffic is curbed.
