Human Trafficking is the Third Biggest Criminal Enterprise in the World

Fellow delegates, human trafficking is the third biggest criminal enterprise in the world.

As long as ISIS is selling girls for $165, and parents in Nigeria are left with nothing but bows and arrows to chase the terrorists who steal their daughters in the middle of the night, we will never have a just and good world. Because when women are held back, democracies falter.

~ By Honorable Amy Klobuchar at 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Nigerian Nnimmo Bassey and Others Call On World Bank President Kim To Step Down

WASHINGTON, July 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nearly sixty inflamed leaders from environmental and human rights organizations, including Foundation Earth, called on World Bank President Jim Yong Kim to resign and not seek a second term. They state that the world and the World Bank needs new leadership.

For the past four years of his five-year term President Kim has failed to lead, instead proceeding with problematic large projects that paradoxically will increase poverty rather than reduce or eliminate it. World Bank projects are contributing to the 6th Great Extinction.

NNIMMO BASSEY, Earth Rights International (Nigeria): President Kim has continued with the types of projects that harm people and ruin the environment they depend on for their survival.

NIGERIAN OUTPUT REBOUNDS

The largest rise in output came from Nigeria, where production rose 150,000 b/d to 1.57 million b/d, due largely to the return of its largest export grade, Qua Iboe, as production and exports resumed at the end of May.

Nigerian production hit 30-year lows in May as militancy continued in the country's oil rich Niger Delta.
