Resolution Speech The delegation of Brazil is delighted in participating in TAMOAS and thanks the rest of the member states

for attending today. It is through international cooperation and exchange of ideas that our hemisphere will be able to prosper. It is why I think TAMOAS is a great organization and our work will be a great way to find resolutions to tackle problems facing our member states today. According to a 2003 U.S. Government estimate, 800,000 to 900,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year having been bought, sold, transported and held in slavery-like conditions for sex and labor exploitation. The nature of this crime underground, often under-acknowledged contributes to the inability to determine the precise number of people who are victimized by traffickers each year. The scope of this hideous exploitation is wide and varied, but typically involves victims entrapped into commercial sexual exploitation such as prostitution and pornography, or labor exploitation in sweatshops, construction sites and agricultural settings. Additional forms of forced labor and abuse include domestic servitude and forced marriages. In an era of improved technology, it has become much easier for traffickers to evade justice and security measures currently in place to try and stop or at least decrease the number of people being trafficked. I hope you take motivation to stop such barbarity and support my resolution to decrease the number of people being trafficked and assist those are being affect by such crime. As the issue of trafficking in persons is a complex and broad-ranging one, it is important to take integrated and comprehensive measures, including the prevention and elimination of trafficking and the protection of victims. Thats why I am here today to present my resolution that will try to solve or decrease the numbers of people in trafficking.
