U.S. report aims at global sex trafficking

A report released on Monday by the U.S. State Department accused 12 countries of not doing enough to combat the sex-slave trade. Interestingly, most of the states criticized in the report are constantly at odds with the U.S. including Cuba and Venezuela. Venezuela’s government has denounced the report as an attack against leader Hugo Chavez. (Belize was the third and last Western Hemispheric country mentioned in the Trafficking in Persons Report).
