YEREVAN, February 3. /ARKA/. Presentation of a manual "How to struggle against trafficking in communities" took place in Yerevan.
According to the Coordinator of the Yerevan mission of the International Organization for Migration Hrachya Kazhoyan, the manual is for the population of the regions of Armenia, since residents of rural areas make the significant part of the victims of trafficking.
"We increased awareness among the population of the regions of Armenia by demonstrating a theatre performance "Burning candles", which describes the bitter fate of Armenian women, who became the victims of trafficking", he said.
According to him, already 10 thsd citizens of Yerevan, Gyumri, Charentsavan, Vanadsor, Yeghegnadsor and Goris saw the drama.
However, Kazhoyan found difficult to say the number of citizens of Armenia, who underwent trafficking.
Publication of the manual is funded by the British Council, UNDP, as well as the Agency of Development and Cooperation of Switzerland.
The mission of the International Organization for Migration in Armenian has been acting since 1993. The main goal of the mission is to contribute to the rehabilitation process of the victims of trafficking, as well as increasing awareness among the population of Armenia.
According to the data of the UN, annually 4 mln people become victims of trafficking. Illegal turnover of that criminal sphere makes over $10 bln. A.H.-0--
