causal factors for Burma's significant
  trafficking problem
  tier rating: Tier 3 - Burma does not fully comply with the minimum
  standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making
  significant efforts to do so; military and civilian officials remain
  directly involved in significant acts of forced labor and unlawful
  conscription of child soldiers (2008)

Burundi
  current situation: Burundi is a source country for children
  trafficked for the purposes of child soldiering, domestic servitude,
  and commercial sexual exploitation; a small number of Burundian
  children may be trafficked internally for domestic servitude or
  commercial sexual exploitation; in early 2008, Burundian children
  were allegedly trafficked to Uganda, via Rwanda, for agricultural
  labor and commercial sexual exploitation
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Burundi is on the Tier 2 Watch List
  for the second consecutive year for its failure to provide
  sufficient evidence of increasing efforts to combat trafficking in
  persons in 2007; the government's inability to provide adequate
  protective services to children accused of association with armed
  groups and to conduct anti-trafficking law enforcement activities
  continue to be causes for concern; Burundi has not ratified the 2000
  UN TIP Protocol (2008)

Cameroon
  current situation: Cameroon is a source, transit, and
  destination country for women and children trafficked for the
  purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation; most
  victims are children trafficked within country, with girls primarily
  trafficked for domestic servitude and sexual exploitation; both boys
  and girls are also trafficked within Cameroon for forced labor in
  sweatshops, bars, restaurants, and on tea and cocoa plantations;
  children are trafficked into Cameroon from neighboring states for
  forced labor in agriculture, fishing, street vending, and
  spare-parts shops; Cameroon is a transit country for children
  trafficked between Gabon and Nigeria, and from Nigeria to Saudi
  Arabia; it is a source country for women transported by
  sex-trafficking rings to Europe
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Cameroon is on the Tier 2 Watch
  List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
  combat human trafficking in 2007, particularly in terms of efforts
  to prosecute and convict trafficking offenders; while Cameroon
  reported some arrests of traffickers, none of them were prosecuted
  or punished; the government does not identify trafficking victims
  among vulnerable populations nor does it monitor the number of
  victims it intercepts (2008)

Central African Republic
  current situation: Central African Republic
  is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and
  children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and sexual
  exploitation; the majority of victims are children trafficked within
  the country for sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, street
  vending, and forced agricultural, mine, market and restaurant labor;
  to a lesser extent, children are trafficked from the Central African
  Republic to Cameroon, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo;
  rebels conscript children into armed forces within the country
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Central African Republic is on the
  Tier 2 Watch List for the third consecutive year for its failure to
  show evidence of increasing efforts to combat trafficking in 2007;
  efforts to address trafficking through vigorous law enforcement
  measures and victim protection efforts were minimal, though
  awareness about trafficking appeared to be increasing in the
  country; the government does not actively investigate cases, work to
  identify trafficking victims among vulnerable populations, or rescue
  and provide care to victims; the government has not taken measures
  to reduce demand for commercial sex acts (2008)

Chad
  current situation: Chad is a source, transit, and destination
  country for children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and
  commercial sexual exploitation; the majority of children are
  trafficked within Chad for involuntary domestic servitude, forced
  cattle herding, forced begging, forced labor in petty commerce or
  the fishing industry, or for commercial sexual exploitation; to a
  lesser extent, Chadian children are also trafficked to Cameroon, the
  Central African Republic, and Nigeria for cattle herding; children
  may also be trafficked from Cameroon and the Central African
  Republic to Chad's oil producing regions for sexual exploitation
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Chad is on the Tier 2 Watch List
  for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat
  human trafficking in 2007; Chad was destabilized during 2007 by
  civil conflict leading to a declared state of emergency in February
  2008, and a steady influx of refugees fleeing Sudan and the Central
  African Republic; the government demonstrated insufficient overall
  efforts to combat trafficking; Chad has not ratified the 2000 UN TIP
  Protocol (2008)

China
  current situation: China is a source, transit, and destination
  country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of
  sexual exploitation and forced labor; the majority of trafficking in
  China occurs within the country's borders, but there is also
  considerable international trafficking of Chinese citizens to
  Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and North
  America; Chinese women are lured abroad through false promises of
  legitimate employment, only to be forced into commercial sexual
  exploitation, largely in Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan;
  women and children are trafficked to China from Mongolia, Burma,
  North Korea, Russia, and Vietnam for forced labor, marriage, and
  prostitution; some North Korean women and children seeking to leave
  their country voluntarily cross the border into China and are then
  sold into prostitution, marriage, or forced labor
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - China is on the Tier 2 Watch List
  for the fourth consecutive year for its failure to provide evidence
  of increasing efforts to combat human trafficking, particularly in
  terms of punishment of trafficking crimes and the protection of
  Chinese and foreign victims of trafficking; victims are sometimes
  punished for unlawful acts that were committed as a direct result of
  their being trafficked, such as violations of prostitution or
  immigration/emigration controls; the Chinese Government continued to
  treat North Korean victims of trafficking solely as economic
  migrants, routinely deporting them back to horrendous conditions in
  North Korea; additional challenges facing the Chinese Government
  include the enormous size of its trafficking problem and the
  significant level of corruption and complicity in trafficking by
  some local government officials (2008)

Congo, Democratic Republic of the current situation: Democratic Republic of the Congo is a source and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation; much of this trafficking occurs within the country's unstable eastern provinces and is perpetrated by armed groups outside government control tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Democratic Republic of the Congo is on the Tier 2 Watch List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat trafficking in persons in 2007; while some significant initial advances were noted, the government's capacity to apprehend, convict, or imprison traffickers remained weak; the government lacks sufficient financial, technical, and human resources to effectively address not only trafficking crimes, but also to provide basic levels of security in some parts of the country (2008)

Congo, Republic of the
  current situation: Republic of the Congo is a
  source and destination country for children trafficked for the
  purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation; girls
  are trafficked from rural areas within the country for commercial
  sexual exploitation, forced street vending, and domestic servitude;
  children are trafficked from other African countries for domestic
  servitude, forced market vending, and forced labor in the fishing
  industry
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Republic of the Congo is on the
  Tier 2 Watch List for its failure to show evidence of increasing
  efforts to combat trafficking in persons in 2007; struggling to
  recover from six years of civil conflict that ended in 2003, the
  Republic of the Congo's capacity to address trafficking is
  handicapped; the government neither monitors its borders for
  trafficking activity nor provides specialized anti-trafficking
  training for law enforcement officials; the government does not
  encourage victims to assist in trafficking investigations or
  prosecutions, and has not taken measures to reduce demand for
  commercial sex acts in the Republic of the Congo (2008)

Costa Rica
  current situation: Costa Rica is a source, transit, and
  destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the
  purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor; women
  and girls from neighboring states, Russia, Uzbekistan, and the
  Philippines are trafficked into the country for sexual exploitation;
  Costa Rica also serves as a transit point for victims trafficked to
  North America and Europe; the government identifies child sex
  tourism as a serious problem; men, women, and children are also
  trafficked within the country for forced labor in fishing and
  construction, and as domestic servants
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Costa Rica is on the Tier 2 Watch
  List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
  combat human trafficking, particularly in terms of its failure to
  improve its inadequate assistance to victims; while Costa Rican
  officials recognize human trafficking as a serious problem, the lack
  of a stronger response by the government is of concern (2008)

Cote d'Ivoire
  Cote d'Ivoire is a source, transit, and destination
  country for women and children trafficked for forced labor and
  commercial sexual exploitation; trafficking within the country is
  more prevalent than international trafficking and the majority of
  victims are children; women and girls are trafficked from northern
  areas to southern cities for domestic servitude, restaurant labor,
  and sexual exploitation; boys are trafficked internally for
  agricultural and service labor and transnationally for forced labor
  in agriculture, mining, construction, and in the fishing industry;
  women and girls are trafficked to and from other West and Central
  African countries for domestic servitude and forced street vending
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Cote d'Ivoire is on the Tier 2
  Watch List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts
  to eliminate trafficking in 2007, particularly with regard to its
  law enforcement efforts and protection of sex trafficking victims;
  in addition, Ivoirian law does not prohibit all forms of
  trafficking, and Cote d'Ivoire has not ratified the 2000 UN TIP
  Protocol (2008)

Cuba
  current situation: Cuba is principally a source country for
  women and children trafficked within the country for the purpose of
  commercial sexual exploitation and possibly for forced labor; the
  country is a destination for sex tourism, including child sex
  tourism, which is a problem in many areas of the country; some Cuban
  nationals willingly migrate to the United States, but are
  subsequently exploited for forced labor by their smugglers; Cuba is
  also a transit point for the smuggling of migrants from China, Sri
  Lanka, Bangladesh, Lebanon, and other nations to the United States
  and Canada
  tier rating: Tier 3 - Cuba does not fully comply with the minimum
  standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making
  significant efforts to do so; exact information about trafficking in
  Cuba is difficult to obtain because the government does not
  acknowledge or condemn human trafficking as a problem in Cuba;
  tangible efforts to prosecute offenders, protect victims, or prevent
  human trafficking activity do not appear to have been made during
  2007; Cuba has not ratified the 2000 UN TIP Protocol (2008)

Cyprus
  current situation: Cyprus is primarily a destination country
  for a large number of women trafficked from Eastern and Central
  Europe, the Philippines, and the Dominican Republic for the purpose
  of sexual exploitation; traffickers continued to fraudulently
  recruit victims for work as dancers in cabarets and nightclubs on
  short-term "artiste" visas, for work in pubs and bars on employment
  visas, or for illegal work on tourist or student visas
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Cyprus is on the Tier 2 Watch List
  for a third consecutive year for failure to show evidence of
  increasing efforts to combat human trafficking during 2007; although
  Cyprus passed a new trafficking law and opened a government
  trafficking shelter, these efforts are outweighed by its failure to
  show tangible and critically needed progress in the areas of law
  enforcement, victim protection, and the prevention of trafficking
  (2008)

Dominican Republic
  current situation: the Dominican Republic is a
  source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and
  children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual
  exploitation and forced labor; a large number of Dominican women are
  trafficked into prostitution and sexual exploitation in Western
  Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and Caribbean
  destinations; a significant number of women, boys, and girls are
  trafficked within the country for sexual exploitation and domestic
  servitude
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - for a second consecutive year, the
  Dominican Republic is on the Tier 2 Watch List for its failure to
  show evidence of increasing efforts to combat human trafficking,
  particularly in terms of not adequately investigating and
  prosecuting public officials who may be complicit with trafficking
  activity, and inadequate government efforts to protect trafficking
  victims; the government has taken measures to reduce demand for
  commercial sex acts with children through criminal prosecutions
  (2008)

Egypt
  current situation: Egypt is a transit country for women
  trafficked from Eastern European countries to Israel for sexual
  exploitation, and is a source for children trafficked within the
  country for commercial sexual exploitation and domestic servitude,
  although the extent to which children are trafficked internally is
  unknown; children were also recruited for domestic and agricultural
  work; some of these children face conditions of involuntary
  servitude, such as restrictions on movement, non-payment of wages,
  threats, and physical
