The Ministry of Foreign Relations has sent a formal protest to the US Department of State over the Tier 3 classification awarded to the DR in 2010 Trafficking in Persons Report. Deputy Foreign Minister Rosario Graciano told Hoy newspaper that "we do not understand or accept the classification given by the Department of State".
The report, released on Monday, said that the Dominican Republic "did not fulfill the minimum standards to eliminate the traffic of persons, and makes no significant efforts in this direction". The document describes how Dominican women, including minors, engage in prostitution in 11 countries in the Caribbean, the Americas and Europe, often under duress.
