With report-link update April 22, 2020
WILLEMSTAD – According to this year’s Human Trafficking Report recently released by the U.S. Department of State, the Government of Curaçao does not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so.
The report also stated that the government demonstrated increasing efforts compared to the previous reporting period. This is why Curaçao remained on Tier 2.
The government demonstrated increasing efforts by initiating more trafficking investigations, one of which involved three allegedly complicit police officers, and providing assistance and care to increasing numbers of trafficking victims. However, the government did not meet the minimum standards in several key areas. It did not prosecute or convict any traffickers for the second consecutive year; did not finalize standard operating procedures on victim identification; and did not address sex trafficking within the unregulated commercial sex industry.

Merkwaardig genoeg voldoet volgens het rapport St Maarten wel aan de eisen (tier 1), evenals Nederland. Voor Nederland is dat opmerkelijk is daar gisteren in Nederland een illegale sigarettenfabriek werd opgerold, waar buitenlandse werknemers werkten die nooit buitenkwamen. Dat valt waarschijnlijk ook onder moderne slavernij, zeker als ze slecht betaald werden. Curaçao en Aruba zijn lager geclassificeerd in tier 2. Ze doen hun best. De ingevoerde Colombiaanse en Venezolaanse dames voor Campo en de bardames van San Nicolas in Aruba, zijn dames die zich liggende staande houden om meestal economische redenen. Een vorm van slavernij? Aan de vraag wordt ook voldaan door de eigen dames, zoals onder meer de befaamde byside. Renée van Aller&John de Vries
