Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 10
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Moreover, trafficking in persons has been identified as a problem across a variety of economic sectors, including those integrated into global markets. It has been reported that the economic sectors most exposed to trafficking in persons include agriculture and horticulture, construction, garments and textiles, hospitality and catering, mining, logging and forestry, fishing, food processing and packaging, transportation, domestic service and other care and cleaning work. In those cases, trafficking in persons may be carried out by businesses and/or their business partners, including suppliers, subcontractors, labour brokers or private recruitment agencies, often because of the motivation to derive economic benefits from exploitable labour or services provided by trafficked persons or because of unmonitored or unregulated supply chain practices (see A/67/261, paras. 8-12). It is worth mentioning that in such cases trafficking in persons can and does occur without the transfer of victims from one place to another. The focus should therefore be on the exploitation, rather than the way the person has reached the destination country.
