I suggest the best web-site for downloading the ILO report on child
domestic workers around the world (and related documents) is:

Dear Colleagues,
I need help from those of you who know Turkish. As you know, there is
only one word to mean both smuggling and trafficking in Turkish:
kacakcilik. Do you know what is the appropriate word used in literature
to differentiate these two phenomena?
Thanks in advance for your help,

FEDERAL COURT AWARDS OVER $100,000 TO VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Justice Department today announced that a
federal district court in New Jersey has ordered several convicted human
traffickers to pay restitution to their victims.
The May order, issued by Judge Faith S. Hochberg of the U. S.
District Court for the District of New Jersey, awarded a total of
$135,240 to four young Mexican girls previously held in captivity in a
Plainfield, New Jersey brothel.
The defendants lured the girls, some as young as 14, from their
homes in Mexico with promises of work, marriage, and a better life in
America. Instead, they confined the girls to the Plainfield brothel
where they forced them to engage in repeated sex acts. The defendants
strengthened their hold on the victims through isolation, beatings,
threats and psychological coercion. The defendants held all four girls
at the brothel until February 2002, when local authorities raided the
building. Their periods of captivity ranged from seven to 15 months.
"These girls suffered unspeakable cruelty at the hands of these
criminals," said R. Alexander Acosta, Assistant Attorney General for
Civil Rights. "No amount of dollars can repay them for what they have
lost, no restitution can undo their suffering. This order will play a
part in helping these girls build a new life."
Defendants Antonia and Librada Jimenez-Calderon each pleaded
guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of sex trafficking and
were each sentenced to 210 months in prison. Defendants Pedro Garcia
Burgos, Angel Ruiz, and Maritzana Diaz Lopez each pleaded guilty to one
count of sex trafficking. Burgos was sentenced to 97 months, Ruiz was
sentenced to 44 months, and Lopez is awaiting sentencing. Defendant
Sergio Farfan pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to obstruct
justice and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. Farfan was not
subject to the restitution order. Defendants Delfino and Luis
Jimenez-Calderon remain fugitives.
The Bush administration has made fighting human trafficking a
significant priority. Since FY 2001, the Justice Department has charged
140 human traffickers - a three-fold increase over the previous three
years, and secured convictions of 92 defendants - nearly twice the
number convicted during the previous three years. Over the same period,
the Justice Department has initiated 283 new trafficking investigations,
nearly triple the number opened in the previous three years.
As of April 30, 2004, the 152 pending trafficking investigations
were more than twice the number open in January 2001.

The US Department of State's 2004 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report
was released 14 June 2004. Please see the links below:
http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2004/33191.htm
http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2004/33185.htm
(An interesting caveat on Buying of a Victim's Freedom and a
reassessment of Estimates used)
Tier 1: Countries whose governments fully comply with the Act's minimum
standards.
Tier 2: Countries whose governments do not fully comply with the Act’s
minimum standards but are making significant efforts to bring themselves
into compliance with those standards.
Tier 2 Watch List: Countries whose governments do not fully comply with
the Act’s minimum standards but are making significant efforts to bring
themselves into compliance with those standards, and:
The absolute number of victims of severe forms of trafficking is very
significant or is significantly increasing; or
There is a failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
combat severe forms of trafficking in persons from the previous year; or
The determination that a country is making significant efforts to
bring themselves into compliance with minimum standards was based on
commitments by the country to take additional future steps over the next
year
Tier 3: Countries whose governments do not fully comply with the minimum
standards and are not making significant efforts to do so.
What Is Different in This Year’s Report? The Trafficking Victims
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2003 (TVPRA) made several important
changes to the TVPA. Three of the four minimum standards for the
elimination of trafficking remain unchanged. The minimum standards are:
The government of the country should prohibit severe forms of
trafficking in persons and punish acts of such trafficking.
For the knowing commission of any act of sex trafficking involving
force, fraud, coercion, or in which the victim of sex trafficking is a
child incapable of giving meaningful consent, or of trafficking which
includes rape or kidnapping or which causes a death, the government of
the country should prescribe punishment commensurate with that for grave
crimes, such as forcible sexual assault.
For the knowing commission of any act of a severe form of trafficking
in persons, the government of the country should prescribe punishment
that is sufficiently stringent to deter and that adequately reflects the
heinous nature of the offense.
The government of the country should make serious and sustained
efforts to eliminate severe forms of trafficking in persons.
The fourth minimum standard was amended and supplemented, and now calls
for consideration of ten criteria rather than seven: Criterion (1) now
requires consideration not only of investigations and prosecutions, but
also of convictions and sentences, and whether the government of the
country is responsive to the State Department's requests for law
enforcement data. Criterion (7), relating to anti-corruption measures,
now also requires consideration of prosecutions, convictions, and
sentences of government officials complicit in trafficking in persons,
and the host government's provision or failure to provide such data.
Three new criteria require consideration of:
Whether the percentage of victims of severe forms of trafficking in
the country that are non-citizens of such countries is insignificant;
Whether the government of the country, consistent with the capacity
of such government, systematically monitors its efforts to satisfy the
criteria described in paragraphs (1) through (8) and makes available
publicly a periodic assessment of such efforts; and,
Whether the government of the country achieves appreciable progress
in eliminating severe forms of trafficking when compared to the
assessment in the previous year.
The criteria used to assess whether a country is making serious and
sustained efforts to come into compliance with the minimum standards for
the elimination of trafficking are reproduced in an appendix to this
report.
The TVPRA also created a "Special Watch List" of countries to receive
special scrutiny during the following year. The list is composed of: 1)
countries listed as Tier 1 in the current report that were listed as
Tier 2 in the 2003 report; 2) countries listed as Tier 2 in the current
report that were listed as Tier 3 in the 2003 report; and, 3) countries
listed as Tier 2 in the current report, where
the absolute number of victims of severe forms of trafficking is
very significant or is significantly increasing;
there is a failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
combat severe forms of trafficking in persons from the previous year,
including increased investigations, prosecutions and convictions of
trafficking crimes, increased assistance to victims, and decreasing
evidence of complicity in severe forms of trafficking by government
officials; or
the determination that a country is making significant efforts to
bring itself into compliance with minimum standards was based on
commitments by the country to take additional future steps over the next
year.
Countries on the Special Watch List will be reexamined in an interim
assessment to be submitted to Congress by February 1, 2005.
