Paragraph text
The 2003 Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings recommended "adopting or strengthening legislative, educational, social, cultural or other measures, and, where applicable, penal legislation, including through bilateral and multilateral co-operation, to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of persons, especially women and children, and that leads to trafficking". Furthermore, in its decision No. 8/07 on combating trafficking in human beings for labour exploitation, the Organization's Ministerial Council urged participating States to "develop programmes to curb the fraudulent recruitment used by some employment agencies that can make persons more vulnerable to being trafficked" (para. 16).
