Paragraph text
Responding to a lack of State regulation and poor enforcement of international standards, as well as to consumer demand for greater levels of transparency and compliance with those standards, businesses have also tried to address these issues through a commitment to voluntary standards and assurance programmes, by establishing their own programmes or by engaging with a multi-stakeholder initiative. How trafficking in persons is addressed by such initiatives is the focus of the present report.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
