REF: 03 SECSTATE 14545
The Global Affairs Section of the US Embassy The Hague
invited TIP contacts to a lunchtime showing of the feature
film LILYA 4-EVER on April 14, 2004, in the Embassy
auditorium. A group of 15 including representatives from
the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two
NGOs and various embassy sections watched the film.
Afterwards, the guests commented that they were impressed
with the realism of the story based on their professional
experience with TIP. The NGO representatives felt it
portrayed well the hidden nature of the crime and the
difficulties in reaching out to victims. They said that,
like Lilya, victims are often persons who are already
inclined to be societal outsiders. Telling them to become
insiders doesn't protect them from traffickers. The
officials from the Ministry of Justice and Foreign Affairs
agreed that watching the film was a good reminder of why we
all work together to stop TIP. The Global Section has also
offered the video for personal use loan to TIP contacts.
Thank you for providing this film.
