AFGHANISTAN: Trafficking in Persons Report 2010

Afghanistan is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and forced prostitution. Trafficking within Afghanistan is more prevalent than transnational trafficking, and the majority of victims are children. Afghan boys and girls are trafficked within the country for forced prostitution and forced labor in brick kilns, carpet-making factories, and domestic service.

Forced begging is a growing problem in Afghanistan; mafia groups organize professional begging rings. Afghan boys are subjected to forced prostitution and forced labor in the drug smuggling industry in Pakistan and Iran. Afghan women and girls are subjected to forced prostitution, forced marriages – where husbands forced their wives into prostitution – and involuntary domestic servitude in Pakistan and Iran, and possibly India. .... - 2010 Tip Report
