Reply to "Guyana achieves highest ranking in US human trafficking report"

This never happened under the PPP.

The government reported that it identified 98 trafficking victims in 2016 (80 for sex trafficking and 18 for labour trafficking), compared with 56 in 2015. The government also referred 40 victims to an NGO’s shelter in 2016 compared to 17 in 2015. It was noted that while it signed an agreement to provide funding to the said NGO, it did not do so over the last year but instead provided $13M to another NGO that provided housing and counselling services for victims of gender-based violence, including an unknown number of trafficking victims.
