The U.S. State Department released its annual report on human trafficking in the world. The report reads that Azerbaijan is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Men and boys from
Azerbaijan are subjected to conditions of forced labor in Russia. Women and children from Azerbaijan are subjected to sex trafficking in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Russia,
and Iran. Women and children from Azerbaijan are subjected to sex trafficking and children are subjected to forced labor, including forced begging, within the country.

The government was recommended to strengthen measures to identify trafficking victims
and from social and psychological rehabilitation.
In 2011 29 women, victims of trafficking, including one child, were revealed.-02D-
