Rodríguez proposes to reform the European anti-trafficking directive and fight from all perspectives to protect victims.
Soraya Rodríguez, MEP from Renew Europe group, proposes to reform the European anti-trafficking directive and fight from all perspectives to protect the victims. She denounces that the practices that turn people into commodities are aimed at dehumanising them and the suffering they cause is profound and lasting. Rodriguez warns that, despite the fact that it has been 10 years since the adoption of the Directive, crimes of this type have only grown up and mostly affect children. According to a UN report, the proportion of child victims of trafficking has increased threefold. She points out that the other major social group victim of this crime is women. The MEP says that in this fight against crime only 1 % of the victims are released, and that if the EU wants to improve its efficiency, it must arrest criminals and criminal mafia bosses. To do this, bet to keep track of the money. Finally, Rodríguez asks to work with the victims on their rehabilitation, reparation and obtaining justice. She asks to identify them and provide them with assistance, psychological and judicial support through working with civil society and NGOs.
