Yury Fedotov, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Thursday called on the international community to support the newly established U.N. Trust Fund for Victims of Human Trafficking.
Underlining the importance of the initiative launched Nov. 4 in New York, Fedotov told a press conference that victims of human trafficking crimes, especially women and children Sports Jerseys, usually needed physical and psychological rehabilitation, help reintegrating into society Tiffany Jewelry, and other support.
"Human beings are trafficked for a wide range of terrible purposes, not only for sexual exploitation -- though that is certainly one of the worst forms of this disgraceful crime against human dignity," Fedotov said.
"We hope that the new Trust Fund will help us to deal with these challenges as it provides a way to rescue victims of human trafficking and to help them to recover and rebuild their lives Tiffany Rings," he said.
The United Nations has estimated that more than 2.4 million people are currently being exploited as victims of human trafficking globally. Women comprise two-thirds of trafficking victims, according to UNODC data.
