| Qualitative Info |
During 2010, the government identified 17 victims of forced labor, 24 sex trafficking victims, and two victims subjected to both labor and commercial sexual exploitation, in comparison with 21 such victims identified in 2009 and 41 in 2008. Reports claim that the Cypriot government has yet to fully implement its commitment to institute proactive victim identification procedures for use by all front-line responders in Cyprus (see U.S. Trafficking in persons report released in 2011: http://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/2011/164231.htm) There are NGO claims that hundreds if not thousands of trafficked victims go unidentified and thus unprotected, some of whom are deported. No figures are available yet for 2011. |
