not making
  significant efforts to do so; combating human trafficking through
  law enforcement or prevention measures was not a priority for the
  government in 2007 (2008)

Syria
  current situation: Syria is a destination and transit country
  for women and children trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation
  and forced labor; a significant number of women and children in the
  large and expanding Iraqi refugee community in Syria are reportedly
  forced into commercial sexual exploitation by Iraqi gangs or, in
  some cases, their families; women from Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the
  Philippines, Ethiopia, and Sierra Leone are recruited for work in
  Syria as domestic servants, but some face conditions of involuntary
  servitude, including long hours, non-payment of wages, withholding
  of passports, restrictions on movement, threats, and physical or
  sexual abuse
  tier rating: Tier 3 - Syria again failed to report any law
  enforcement efforts to punish trafficking offenses in 2007; in
  addition, the government did not offer protection services to
  victims of trafficking and may have arrested, prosecuted, or
  deported some victims for prostitution or immigration violations;
  Syria has not ratified the 2000 UN TIP Protocol (2008)

Tajikistan
  current situation: Tajikistan is a source country for
  women trafficked through Kyrgyzstan and Russia to the UAE, Turkey,
  and Russia for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation; men
  are trafficked to Russia and Kazakhstan for the purpose of forced
  labor, primarily in the construction and agricultural industries;
  boys and girls are trafficked internally for various purposes,
  including forced labor and forced begging
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Tajikistan is on the Tier 2 Watch
  List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
  combat human trafficking, especially efforts to investigate,
  prosecute, convict, and sentence traffickers; despite evidence of
  low- and mid-level officials' complicity in trafficking, the
  government did not punish any public officials for trafficking
  complicity during 2007; lack of capacity and poor coordination
  between government institutions remained key obstacles to effective
  anti-trafficking efforts (2008)

Uzbekistan
  current situation: Uzbekistan is a source country for
  women and girls trafficked to Kazakhstan, Russia, Middle East, and
  Asia for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation; men are
  trafficked to Kazakhstan and Russia for purposes of forced labor in
  the construction, cotton, and tobacco industries; men and women are
  also trafficked internally for the purposes of domestic servitude,
  forced labor in the agricultural and construction industries, and
  for commercial sexual exploitation
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Uzbekistan is on the Tier 2 Watch
  List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
  combat severe forms of trafficking in 2007; the government did not
  amend its criminal code to increase penalties for convicted
  traffickers; in March 2008, Uzbekistan adopted ILO Conventions on
  minimum age of employment and on the elimination of the worst forms
  of child labor and is working with the ILO on implementation; the
  government also demonstrated its increasing commitment to combat
  trafficking in March 2008 by adopting a comprehensive
  anti-trafficking law; Uzbekistan has not ratified the 2000 UN TIP
  Protocol (2008)

Venezuela
  current situation: Venezuela is a source, transit, and
  destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the
  purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor;
  Venezuelan women and girls are trafficked within the country for
  sexual exploitation, lured from the nation's interior to urban and
  tourist areas; child prostitution in urban areas and child sex
  tourism in resort destinations appear to be growing; Venezuelan
  women and girls are trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation to
  Western Europe, Mexico, and Caribbean destinations
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Venezuela is placed on the Tier 2
  Watch List, up from Tier 3, as it showed greater resolve to address
  trafficking through law enforcement measures and prevention efforts
  in 2007, although stringent punishment of offenders and victim
  assistance remain lacking (2008)

World
  current situation: approximately 800,000 people, mostly women
  and children, are trafficked annually across national borders, not
  including millions trafficked within their own countries; at least
  80% of the victims are female and up to 50% are minors; 75% of all
  victims are trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation; almost
  two-thirds of the global victims are trafficked intra-regionally
  within East Asia and the Pacific (260,000 to 280,000 people) and
  Europe and Eurasia (170,000 to 210,000 people)
  Tier 2 Watch List: Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain,
  Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Costa
  Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of the Congo,
  Dominican Republic, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, The Gambia,
  Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, India, Jordan, Libya,
  Malaysia, Montenegro, Mozambique, Niger, Panama, Republic of the
  Congo, Russia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan,
  Venezuela, Zambia, Zimbabwe
  Tier 3: Algeria, Burma, Cuba, Fiji, Iran, Kuwait, Moldova, North
  Korea, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria
  (2008)

Zambia
  current situation: Zambia is a source, transit, and
  destination country for women and children trafficked for the
  purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation; many Zambian child
  laborers, particularly those in the agriculture, domestic service,
  and fishing sectors, are also victims of human trafficking; Zambian
  women, lured by false employment or marriage offers abroad, are
  trafficked to South Africa via Zimbabwe and to Europe via Malawi for
  sexual exploitation; Zambia is a transit point for regional
  trafficking of women and children, particularly from Angola to
  Namibia and from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to South
  Africa for agricultural labor
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Zambia is on the Tier 2 Watch List
  for failing to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat
  severe forms of trafficking, particularly in regard to its inability
  to bring alleged traffickers to justice through prosecutions and
  convictions; unlike 2006, there were no new prosecutions or
  convictions of alleged traffickers in 2007; government efforts to
  protect victims of trafficking remained extremely limited throughout
  the year (2008)

Zimbabwe
  current situation: Zimbabwe is a source, transit, and
  destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the
  purposes of forced labor and sexual exploitation; large scale
  migration of Zimbabweans to surrounding countries - as they flee a
  progressively more desperate situation at home - has increased;
  rural Zimbabwean men, women, and children are trafficked internally
  to farms for agricultural labor and domestic servitude and to cities
  for domestic labor and commercial sexual exploitation; young men and
  boys are trafficked to South Africa for farm work, often laboring
  for months in South Africa without pay before "employers" have them
  arrested and deported as illegal immigrants; young women and girls
  are lured abroad with false employment offers that result in
  involuntary domestic servitude or commercial sexual exploitation;
  men, women, and children from neighboring states are trafficked
  through Zimbabwe en route to South Africa
  tier rating: Tier 2 Watch List - Zimbabwe is on the Tier 2 Watch
  List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to
  combat severe forms of human trafficking, and because the absolute
  number of victims of severe forms of trafficking is significantly
  increasing; the trafficking situation in the country is worsening as
  more of the population is made vulnerable by declining
  socio-economic conditions (2008)
