Title: Assessment on the Status of Trafficking in Persons in Egypt: Changing Perceptions and Proposing Appropriate Interventions
Summary: Egypt is a transit country for women being trafficked from eastern European countries to Israel for the purpose of sexual exploitation. It is also a country of origin for women who are trafficked to Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab States, Jordan, Kuwait, and Yemen for the purpose of transactional marriage, in particular. Additionally, there are reports of Egyptians trafficked to work abroad. This report analyzes the various forms of trafficking based on a fact-finding mission to Egypt. The report describes trends in transnational trafficking while bringing to light new research on domestic trafficking. The report also emphasizes individual trafficking, as many forms of exploitation of women and children in Egypt are perpetrated by spouses, parents, or other family members. The report calls for a comprehensive response to the problem which would include the government, nongovernmental organizations, and other members of civil society.
