Communication with victims of trafficking. The mandate of the Special Rapporteur is focused on the rights and needs of victims of trafficking and it is appropriate that victims are consulted and involved in the work of the mandate. The Special Rapporteur has paid particular attention to developing this aspect of her working methods. She has participated in panel discussions involving survivors of trafficking in New York and Geneva and has included the voices of victims in her studies and reports. She is convinced that the involvement of victims is critical to ensuring that the measures taken to address trafficking benefit those in need; that unintended harmful consequences are anticipated and avoided; and that opportunities for change and improvement are identified in a timely way.
