Broomes was eventually forced to call a colleague from the Guyana Women Miners Organization (GWMO), who was bilingual and able to speak Portuguese in order to get a viable report from the girls.“Coming out of the raid, we were privileged to identify that there’s nothing there to work with. So we are putting up our own structure,T Shirt Juventus Bambino, building a TIP unit. I had talked with the Minister (of Public Security) of building a task force and having a system in place, having trained police to deal with raids.”According to her, talks centered on having a special police unit, with officers who were bilingual to focus on human trafficking.“Human trafficking is not dealing with drugs or simple larceny. So we will have a unit focused on human trafficking, a unit within the police force. So we are establishing a structure and with my experience and my exposure internationally, we will have a structure that fits into the international standard.”The junior Minister explained that the task force would fall directly under Public Security. She also expressed optimism that this time around,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Wholesale, next year, with the advent of the June 2016 TIP report, it would place Guyana in a much more favorable light.“The US would not stop their investigation because there is a new Government. This (TIP) is a serious problem right here in Guyana.
