Trafficking of women
Recommended measures (4)
The State party should systematically collect comprehensive data about victims of trafficking and report them to the Committee in its next periodic report.
The State party should adopt a human rights-based approach in its efforts to combat trafficking, and prioritize the prevention of trafficking and retrafficking, the protection of victims and the prosecution of perpetrators.
The State party should create a uniform national system for identifying and following up on women victims of trafficking, ensuring the continuity of rights and entitlements when there is a change in the residence or legal status of the victim, conducting awareness-raising campaigns about human trafficking and discontinuing the return of victims of human trafficking under the Dublin Regulation.
The State party should revise immigration policies to ensure that laws and policies on the deportation of foreign women are not applied in a discriminatory manner, do not deter migrants, refugees and asylum seekers from reporting crimes of trafficking and do not undermine efforts to prevent human trafficking, identify or protect victims or prosecute perpetrators.
