  4. CASE STUDY “TRAFFICKING” Bulgaria is “primary country of origin for trafficking in human beings for the purpose of sexual exploitation”. Yet it is also a transit and destination country. • In accordance with the signed agreements and declarations and after a number of discussions in 2002 a team of experts from governmental and non-governmental institutions presented to the parliament a “Combating Trafficking in Human Beings Act”. • The legislation was passed in May 2003 without any serious obstructions or intensive parliamentary debates. • The new law opened space for implementation of secondary legislation.

  5. BULGARIAN COALITION FOR GENDER EQUALITY The Coalition agrees upon several issues that require feminist mobilization: • the lack of juridical mechanisms, providing proper implementation of the laws that have been already passed- the anti-discrimination law, the anti-trafficking law, and the law for prevention of domestic violence; • the negative vote for the “Bill for equal rights and opportunities” and its future in next 40th National Assembly: • the persistent insensitivity among politicians and society in general on the issues of gender.
