- Summary
- The assessment is based on recommendations directed to the CPRSI to address the issue and to collect data on trafficking, with a focus on children, as it affects Roma and related groups. Some Roma representatives are reluctant to address the issue as it has many times been labeled a "gypsy problem" and dealt with in a way that generates racist stereotypes. However, the issue is increasingly raised at several official meetings. Albania was chosen because several recent reports highlight the vulnerability of the Roma and Egyptian communities to trafficking in children in Albania.
