The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 33
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Trafficked persons may also have options of claiming compensation based on labour law violations, such as discrimination, breach of national minimum wage, and unreasonable overtime. While there are some promising practices, the possibility for trafficked persons to obtain compensation through labour proceedings may be restricted by a number of eligibility criteria in practice. In some countries, labour proceedings are not available for trafficked persons engaging in sexual services, as the provision of sexual services itself is illegal and thus not a recognized form of employment to which labour protection applies. Trafficked persons with irregular immigration status may be also excluded from the use of labour proceedings to seek compensation.
