Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 50
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Strengthening the accountability of non-State actors and the involvement of civil society in combating and preventing trafficking in persons, including lessening the tensions between civil society groups working on trafficking and Governments, is another challenge. Furthermore, while the Special Rapporteur recognizes the power of the media in raising community awareness of trafficking in all its forms and informing vulnerable groups about certain risks, she notes repeated examples of media sensationalism, manifested for example through a prurient and overly narrow focus on sexual exploitation. Failure to protect the privacy of victims adequately; the stigmatization of victims; and fostering confusion between trafficking and other phenomena, such as irregular migration and migrant smuggling, represent further difficulties.
