"... Available information on trafficking in persons in
Venezuela is limited. The Government of the Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela (GBRV) is generally reluctant to share
information regarding TIP with the USG. Post continues to
meet and request information from officials at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on trafficking in persons. MFA
officials told TIP officer and Poloff that they are working
with the Ministry of Interior and Justice (MIJ) to revamp the
Ministry's webpage to include up-to-date TIP statistics as
public information. This has not occurred to date. Post

knows of no other GBRV efforts to document the scope of human
trafficking in Venezuela. Reliable sources of information are the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International
Organization for Migration (IOM), and the Women's Association for
Well-Being and Reciprocal Assistance ..."
