US report: Israel leading fight against human trafficking

A US State Department report on fighting human trafficking ranked Israel at first place for the second year running. The report noted the efforts of the Israeli law enforcement authorities which contributed to the decrease in women trafficking and prostitution, and to the significant progress in the struggle against slave trade and forced labor.

The report also listed the rights the State gives the victims of human trafficking, including shelters, free legal aid and work permits. (Aviel Magnezi)
