" L & # Slavery – reads the text of the statement of the head of state – represented one of the greatest shames of humanity. Today, the World Day Against Human Trafficking asks us to reiterate the condemnation and the battle of the international community against all forms of slavery, old and new. The International Labor Organization – he observes – denounces that there are about 40 million victims; of these, nearly 25 million are forced to work and 15 million are forced to marry. Impressive numbers that prompted the United Nations to adopt the goal of eliminating human trafficking by 2030. "
" It is – Mattarella continues – degenerations of our society, the wounds to eradicate with firmness that question our consciences and calls us to a moral response, to an adequate response with a greater cultural and civil commitment. The easy land for these new forms of slavery is the migratory phenomenon. Every day, thousands of people endanger their lives and those of their loved ones by sea and on land, in desperate conditions; a tragedy, a child of wars, poverty, instability of precarious development, nurtured and exploited by despicable human traffickers, who put them on a future of oppression: exploitation of labor, illegal adoptions, organ harvesting, recruitment by organized crime, badual exploitation. No country is immune from this systematic violation of human dignity that challenges the responsibility of the international community as a whole, avoiding the temptation to look elsewhere. Only cooperation – he concludes – can overcome this phenomenon, with a European Union conscious of its values and responsibilities "
