Department as one of the worst offenders in this slave

TEL AVIV Thousands of women are being smuggled
into Israel, creating a booming sex trade industry that
rakes more than USD one billion a year, a parliamentary
committee said on Wednesday.
The Parliamentary Inquiry Committee, headed by
Knesset member Zehava Galon of the left-wing Yahad
party, commissioned the report in an effort to combat
the sex trade in Israel. Findings showed that some 3,000
and 5,000 women are smuggled to Israel annually and
sold into the prostitution industry, where they are
constantly subjected to violence and abuse.
The report, issued annually, said some 10,000 such
women currently reside in about 300 to 400 brothels
throughout the country. They are traded for about
USD 8,000 USD 10,000, the committee said.
The U.S. State Department ranks Israel in the second
tier of human trafficking around the world, saying
the Jewish State does not maintain minimal conditions
regarding the issue but is working to improve them.
Israel passed a law in 2003 that would allow the state
to confiscate the profits of traffickers, but watchdog
groups say it is rarely enforced.
Most foreign prostitutes in Israel come from Ukraine,
Moldova, Uzbekistan and Russia and many are smuggled
in across the Egyptian border.
The committee found that the women work seven days
a week for up to 18 hours every day and that out of the
NIS 120 paid by customers, they are left with just NIS
20, while the rest of the money is passed on to their
traders.
The prostitutes face constant threats of abuse and
murder, the report said, and Israeli law does little to
help them. Delays in trial dates and prolonged hearings
force the women to remain exposed to violence for
more than a year until they are called in to provide
testimony, and courts rarely collect early testimonies,
as permitted by law.
To help combat the problem, the committee
recommended that the state prosecutors office refrain
from making plea bargains with sex traders. It also
advised to raise the threshold of punitive measures
and pushed for financial compensation for sex trade
victims.
