The impact of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements on the human rights of migrants 2016, para. 57
Paragraph
Document type
Special Procedures' report
Paragraph text
The Special Rapporteur recommends that special attention be paid to the potential impact of trade on migrants who may be further marginalized by other intersecting mutable or immutable characteristics, for instance gender, age, race, minority or indigenous status, disability, medical condition or sexual orientation. While these traits are not inherent vulnerabilities on their own, migrants in these groups may be more at risk of exploitation and abuse because of their irregular status and precarious labour contracts.
