Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 56
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The recognition of the private sector's role in combating trafficking culminated in the Athens Ethical Principles in 2006 under the leadership of the Suzanne Mubarak Women's International Peace Movement. The Movement has been instrumental in mobilizing the private sector and raising awareness of its responsibility to take part in the fight. Under the Principles, businesses voluntarily pledge, inter alia, to demonstrate a zero-tolerance policy towards trafficking in persons and to contribute to the prevention of trafficking in persons, including awareness-raising campaigns and education. Those commitments were reaffirmed in the Manama Declaration on Human Trafficking at the Crossroads, adopted in 2009 at a conference held in Bahrain.
