STUBICKE TOPLICE, May 21 (Hina) - In the last three years 25 instances of women trafficking have been recorded in Croatia, while only last year 180 children were discovered as victims of white slavery, it was said on Monday at an
international seminar on trafficking in women and children. According to Lovorka Marinovic of the International Organisation for Migrations, the women and children in question come from formerly communist countries. Through organised crimes they end as white slaves in Western Europe. Every year 500,000 women and children from every part of the world are "sold", with organised crime making a dozen million US dollars, said Marinovic. The seminar in Stubicke Toplice has pooled representatives of government institutions and international non-governmental organisations. They pointed out the trafficking issue could be solved only through regional and global cooperation.(hin
