| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] Ten minors were rescued from sexual exploitation during an operation on the border between Panama and Costa Rica. The age of the victims ranged from 4 to 12 years. Four people have been arrested in this case. On February 5, the First Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office succeeded in indicting a fourth woman in Veracruz, Western Panama, for trafficking in persons for the purpose of sexual exploitation of children, La Prensa Panama reported. Jenny Barb , psychologist and head of the UN Children's Fund, said she was concerned about "a fragile social reality in which children are victimized and unprotected. The authorities must take urgent action to prevent these crimes, to support the recovery of the victims and, most importantly, to hold those involved accountable so that they cannot commit crimes again.” Barb noted that the extreme poverty fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic increases the vulnerability of populations, especially children, to human trafficking. |
