COORDINATION meeting on the 10-point recommendation of
Trafficking in Person Report 2018 by the US Department of State was held
yesterday afternoon in the meeting hall of the Ministry’s office in Nay Pyi
Taw, and Union Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Dr. Win
Myat Aye attended the meeting.
During the meeting, Union Minister Dr. Win Myat Aye said that
Myanmar is striving to combat human trafficking, and which was placed back in
many tiers in the human trafficking. The US Department of State has released an
annual report and placed the countries onto the tiers based on the Human
Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.
It was of great importance to create employment opportunities
for the youths and human trafficking was linked with social protection,
economic development and peace process, he said. Thus it was needed to conduct
vocational training schools while creating job opportunities in the country.
Moreover it was seen that there could arise many possibilities of human
traffickings at the relief camps in the conflict areas. Therefore effective
performance can be made through the cooperation of the relevant ministries, UN
organizations and CSOs. Following this, the attendees took part in the
discussion in order to release the report of the implementation and on-going
processes with the cooperation of relevant ministries.
