Djibouti Law of 27 December 2007. With the arrival of many citizens from African countries and from transit countries, Egypt is becoming a transit zone for women, or crossing South-East Asia, the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. What is more, since 2003 the Suez Canal has been considered a very important factor in the trafficking of human beings and of counterfeit goods. Amongst these missions, the committee must draw up plans for the implementation, supervised implementation and revision of legislation in order to prevent human trafficking, and also to draw up proposals or recommendations, and to publish a national directory including instructions and pertinent educational material, and the adoption of measures that aim to protect victims of human trafficking. The committee will also lead an awareness-raising campaign for the benefit of employers who bring in foreign workers, on issues relating to human trafficking, and will also examine reports of national and international organisations on the banning of human trafficking, and co-operate with all official and non-official programmes that provide social support for victims affected physically or psychologically or people affected by human trafficking crimes.
