Pakistan On US State Department Watch List
When families sell children into slavery, the problem is more than legal, it’s cultural.
Now focus is on human trafficking:
Much to the embarrassment of President Zardari, the State Department report said parents in Pakistan sell their daughters into domestic servitude, prostitution, or forced marriages, and women are traded between tribal groups to settle disputes or as payment for debts whereas NGOs contend that Pakistani girls are trafficked to the Middle East for sexual exploitation.
