Around 10 000 women are trafficked out of Bulgaria every year, and the number is rising, Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov said on Friday.
Some of the reasons are continued poverty, organised crime and a weak judicial system, he added.
Parvanov's words came during his address to the participants in a conference dedicated to countering and preventing women trafficking, which is hosted by former foreign minister Nadezhda Mihaylova in Sofia.
Although Bulgaria has adopted several legislative bills to crack down on women trafficking, but needs to allocate more money towards that goal, as well as set up a registry of victims of women trafficking, Parvanov said.
Women trafficking is on the rise globally, with up to 800 000 being forced into the sex slave trade annually, which brings organised crime an estimated EUR 8-12 B every year.
