Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 37
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In this regard, despite her view that demand for all types of commercial sex should be eliminated, the former Special Rapporteur on the human rights aspects of the victims of trafficking in persons reached a different conclusion about the measures appropriate to reduce demand in cases other than prostitution, notably when goods were made by workers who had been trafficked. In her report (E/CN.4/2006/62, para. 59) she expressed the view that: States parties need not eradicate demand simply because that demand is occasionally met by goods produced by trafficked labour. For example, the consumer market for athletic shoes could be met occasionally by shoes produced by people who have been subjected to one or more of the means of trafficking listed in the Protocol definition. There are reasonable steps States parties may take to discourage the demand side of such markets without seeking to wholly eradicate the consumer demand for athletic shoes.
