South Africa Sex Trafficking and tourism
?? Hazel Thompson Sex Trafficking and tourism around the FIFA South Africa World Cup 2010 Location: Cape Town, South Africa Date: 22nd-30th April 2010 CAPTION: The Vice Squad officer questioning the girl found drugged and confused in a bed, in one of the apartments in the slum building. When he first entered to search the room, he was to find the man lying next to her actually penetrating her from behind. The girl was heavily drugged and when questioned denied knowing she had been having sex with the man. With her drugged confusion, the officers found it hard to ascertain if she was having se with her boyfriend, prostituting herself or was being forced and abused to have sex with the man. Without a testimony against the man and the girls asking for help, the Vice Squad do not have the jurisdiction to remove her. STORY SYNOPSIS: For four weeks from the 11th June 2010, South Africa will be the centre of the world???s attention, as it hosts the FIFA World Cup 2010. During that period, an estimated 2.7 million local spectators will view 64 matches played in 9 cities around the country, including Cape Town. It is estimated there will up to 500 000 visitors to the country. The world cup is expected to generate more than $4 billion, the highest revenue in World Cup history, which raises various concerns about the possible increase in the abuse, exploitation and trafficking in persons especially children during the games; that it will provide opportunities for abusers, exploiters and traffickers to meet the perceived increased demand for cheap labour and sexual services. Due to the underground nature of trafficking, there are no official records of trafficked persons, therefore, estimates vary widely. Some estimate that there are 27 million in slavery worldwide; that approximately 800 000 people are trafficked across national borders. This does not include the millions trafficked within their own country. Child trafficking is said to be on the increase. Th
