Technology Enabled Global Dangers

the Financial Gazette Online! reports:
The brutal murder of seven women from Zimbabwe in Kenya at the beginning of this month is a disturbing sign of the global dimensions of violence against women.

The seven Zimbabweans were among 20 victims from four Africans countries who were lured to Kenya by a man who purported that he could help the women to get jobs in Canada. The other women were from Zambia, Malawi and South Africa.
The killer used a trick that is disturbingly being made possible by modern technology. The women travelled to Kenya in response to an advertisement the man placed on the Internet.
It has since become apparent that the man could have been linked to an organised crime syndicate dealing in human organs.
The area where one of the Zimbabwean victims was buried was said to be frequented by sailors interested in buying human parts.
It is a well-known fact that women and children are the main victims of criminal gangs involved in today's "modern" crimes such as human trafficking.
