Integration of a human rights-based approach in measures to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of persons, especially women and children, and which leads to human trafficking 2013, para. 76
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Commitment to consulting those who will be or would have been affected by potential measures is essential to a human rights-based approach to human trafficking. States should aim to set a high standard for consultation, which may counteract a discourse in which trafficked persons are seen only as victims with little agency, and thus excluded from negotiations. It may also act as a further precedent for such groups to be involved as active subjects in any proposals which would affect their futures.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
