Description
Summary:Israel has been criticized by the UN, USA, and international organizations for turning a "blind eye'' to human trafficking within its borders. In response, the Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry on Trafficking in Women (2005) outlined a four-year multi- agency response. Israel's anti-trafficking policy now pursues a coordinated effort across the Ministry of Public Security, Justice Ministry, Judiciary, Ministries of Welfare, Health and Interior, and the Foreign Ministry. Israel no longer turns a "blind eye'' to trafficking in women for prostitution.
