Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 16
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In developing effective strategies to combat trafficking in persons, the Special Rapporteur has consistently advocated for basing such strategies on "5P's" (protection, prosecution, punishment, prevention and promotion of international cooperation) and "3R's" (redress, rehabilitation/recovery and reintegration of victims to assume a constructive role in the society) (A/HRC/10/16 and Corr.1). The role of prevention is critical in ensuring that the crime of trafficking does not occur in the first place. Despite its importance, the efforts to combat trafficking have been largely centred on a "symptom-specific" approach in that solutions are sought only after particular problems occur. It follows that resources and efforts are often concentrated on prosecuting traffickers or developing assistance programmes for survivors of trafficking but neglect the development and implementation of comprehensive and systematic prevention measures.
