ABOUT THE THEME

Human trafficking is the trade in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others, or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy and ova removal. Human trafficking can occur within a country or trans-nationally. Human trafficking is a crime against the person because of the violation of the victim's rights of movement through coercion and because of their commercial exploitation. Human trafficking is the trade in people, and does not necessarily involve the movement of the person to another location. Read more..

The remaining 40,700 hectares (101,000 acres) are vineyards planted in villages around the houses used to make home-made wine, or 'vin de casa'.

Most of the country's commercial wine production is for export. Read more..
