The first decade of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children 2014, para. 66
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The work of the mandate has confirmed that the problem of human trafficking continues to be endemic in all parts of the world. While awareness of trafficking and of relevant rights and obligations has improved significantly, this has not resulted in substantial improvements on the ground. Large numbers of women, men and children continue to be exploited; very few receive support, protection or redress; few of those who are doing the exploiting are apprehended and in every country the number of prosecutions remains stubbornly low. Many of the obstacles to a more effective response have been addressed in the previous sections of the present report. Nevertheless, it is pertinent to draw out those challenges that are likely to be of particular concern to the international community and to the mandate as it evolves in the future.
