Take Action to Protect the Rights of Women and Girls Trafficked in Kosovo

Wednesday, October 6, 2004 9:50 AM

Take action to help Amnesty International USA protect an increasing number of women and girls trafficked into Kosovo who are experiencing rape, beatings and abduction. In a recent report Amnesty International established that trafficking in Kosovo has increased since the July 1999 deployment of the international peacekeeping force led by NATO (KFOR) and the establishment of the United Nations civilian administration (UNMIK). Please see Amnesty's website to learn more about the issue and take steps toward remedying this grave problem in Kosovo.
