"US State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report 2011
(introduction):
(Tier 2 Watch List)*
Curacao is a source, transit, and destination area for women,
children, and men who are subjected to sex trafficking and forced
labor. There are indications that child prostitution may be a
problem in Curacao and that some of the hundreds of migrant
women in Curacaos regulated and illegal prostitution are victims
of forced prostitution. Local authorities believe that migrant
workers have also been subjected to forced domestic service and
forced labor in construction, landscaping, and shops. Some
migrants in restaurants and local businesses may be vulnerable
to debt bondage. Foreign trafficking victims originate in Colombia,
the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Asia.
The Government of Curacao does not fully comply with the
minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is
making significant efforts to do so. Despite these efforts, the
government has not shown evidence of increasing efforts over the
previous year; therefore Curacao is placed on Tier 2 Watch List.
Curacaoan authorities identified at least four potential victims of
forced labor during the year. This accomplishment, however, was
overshadowed by the lack of progress in enacting comprehensive
legislation which remained stalled in parliament that would
prohibit all forms of human trafficking and weak victim protections,
as well as the lack of identification of victims of forced or child
prostitution, despite a large population of people that are
vulnerable to sex trafficking"
