THE FUN TALES OF DICK & 'SLAVE' JANE

Heh...heh...she said DICK.

Doesn't it seem like these people are always out launching PR campaigns to solve problems, but never really see any results? Reminds me of some people in Washington. Don't you just love how this guy's last name is Dick? If there weren't any dicks, there wouldn't be a sex-slave human trafficking problem. HA HA!

Minister Dick takes action against human trafficking

PHILIPSBURG--Minister of Justice David Dick made a firm commitment yesterday that he is going to combat human trafficking through the Netherlands Antilles. He launched a preventive publicity campaign to deal with the issue.



Dick said women were transported to the Netherlands Antilles under horrible conditions and on false pretexts, and ended up in prostitution. “There are also situations of forced labour and people being exploited. We must give a clear signal that the Netherlands Antilles does not tolerate these kinds of punishable acts,” he said. (Take heed, you bad, bad traffickers...)



The International Organisation on Migration (IOM), subsidised by the United States, through its work worldwide with migrants, noticed that it was possible that human trafficking went through the Netherlands Antilles. (Possible? Us? No way...)



In the investigation “Exploratory assessment of trafficking in persons in the Caribbean region” of June 2005 IOM came to the same conclusion. That’s why a preventive publicity campaign was set up. The Dutch Ministry of Justice made funds available for the Netherlands Antilles to participate in the publicity campaign by IOM. (And the publicity helps, HOW? You think the human traffickers and the people involved in this HUGE MONEY MAKING INDUSTRY are going to take notes?)



The United States makes a Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report every year in which every country, including the Netherlands Antilles, is judged on its efforts to prevent human trafficking. The United States is thinking about taking measures against countries that don’t make sufficient effort.



According to Miloushka Racamy of the Netherlands Antilles Department Justice, the Netherlands Antilles does not have to fear repercussions, because “we are listed as part of the Dutch Kingdom, according to the 2005 report.” (Oh don't you worry...)



A workgroup (Workgroup? What is this? A college political science project?) is being formed that will provide information on human trafficking through all media channels. (Ah...provide information, but do nothing. You know what they say, the camera really does add ten pounds...ten pounds of LIES.) A coordinator will be appointed in each island territory to fill in the way the publicity campaign is conducted.
