Paragraph text
Country visits and reports. Country visits help to ground the mandate holders' understanding of the problem of trafficking in national realities and forging relationships with those on the front line, while also providing involved States and their partners with an opportunity to access information, expertise and insight. Respondents to the questionnaire, including several States, noted that official missions had influenced shifts in policy and practice around trafficking, for example leading to changes in migration policies, amendments to the national trafficking law and improved cooperation with civil society organizations. Several international organizations noted that the official missions had provided valuable opportunities for stakeholders to convey their views and insights to the higher levels of Government and that the reports were an excellent source of useful, high-quality information.
