The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
While the elements of the right to an effective remedy equally apply to trafficked children, responses vis-à-vis trafficked children warrant special consideration, having regard to "the particular physical, psychological and psychosocial harm suffered by trafficked children and their increased vulnerability to exploitation", as well as their lack of full legal standing. Article 6, paragraph 4, of the Palermo Protocol also recognizes that in providing protection and assistance to trafficked persons, "the age, gender and special needs of victims of trafficking in persons, in particular the special needs of children" should be taken into account.
