On Slavery
New York Times:
The United States on Monday accused 10 nations (Bangladesh, Burma, Cuba, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Guyana, North Korea, Sierra Leone, Sudan and Venezuela), . . . of not doing enough to stop the trafficking of thousands of people forced into servitude or the sex trade every year.

El Herald:
''Tenemos información de que en áreas de la frontera, se trafica venezolanos hacia minas en Guyana para ser explotados sexualmente, o son secuestrados por las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia y usados como soldados'', manifiesta el informe. (My translation: "We have information that in border areas, Venezuelans are trafficked to mines in Guyana for sexual exploitation, or are kidnapped by the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces and used as soldiers")

Según Powell, se habla ``de mujeres y niñas de 6 años de edad que son explotadas sexualmente, de hombres obligados a trabajos forzados, de menores contrabandeados como niños soldados''(In the NYT article, ``We're talking about women and girls as young as 6 years old trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation, men trafficked into forced labor, children trafficked as child soldiers,'')
