Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Persons with disabilities also have born free and equal in dignity and rights. 

"The protection guaranteed in other human rights treaties, and grounded in the Universal Declaracion of Human Rights, should apply to all. Persons with disabilities have, however, remained largely "invisible", often side-lined in the rights debate and unable to enjoy the full range of human rights". (ohchr.org, United Nations).

Let's stop human trafficking!!

The International Organization for Migration develops programs for human trafficking prevention, protection of victims (survivors) and general information for the correct understanding of global migration. 

Human trafficking is a "business opportunity" caused by two essential ingredients: One of them is the extreme poverty, social violence, or other conditions that make life impossible for the human being in his or her country of origin; the second ingredient consist in the restrictive laws that close the borders to the free exercise of the right to migrate. 

This situation forces the migrants to seek alternative routes of escape, taking the risk of being captured by criminal groups for which they are a simple commodity offered in the market of prostitution, illegal organ trafficking, drug trafficking and organized crime groups.
