Paragraph
Paragraph text
Awareness-raising campaigns concerning the plight and rights of trafficked persons can also be important methods of prevention for at-risk communities and the public in countries of destination, transit and source. However, the Special Rapporteur has noted that public awareness campaigns are sometimes crude in conception and execution, employing sensationalist scare tactics or designed to stop people from moving. There has also been very little critical examination of the effects of such campaigns, including the unintended negative effects of prevention efforts.
