Colombia's ministry of labor and the United Nations on Tuesday signed an agreement to combat labor exploitation leaving internal sexual trafficking unaddressed.

"The issue of trafficking has to do with sexual exploitation, but mainly labor exploitation, i.e. some form of forced labor," said Rafael Pardo, Colombia's minister of labor
