Paragraph
Agenda setting of the work of the Special Rapporteur 2015, para. 8
- Paragraph text
- In the age of globalization, trafficking in persons cannot be examined in isolation from the broader socioeconomic realities that drive it, nor should it be tackled only from a criminal perspective. Factors such as poverty and inequality, lack of educational opportunity and access to health care, gender discrimination, including gender-based violence, racial inequality and migration are some of the underlying factors that cause/contribute to trafficking in persons.

Paragraph
Trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations 2016, para. 14
- Paragraph text
- Human trafficking is an increasingly common feature of modern conflict, whether non-international or international. Existing vulnerabilities to trafficking, from gender-based violence to discrimination to lack of economic opportunity, are exacerbated before, during and after conflict. Furthermore, conflict tends to fuel impunity, the breakdown of law and order and the destruction of institutions and communities, which foster the conditions within which trafficking will flourish, often past the point at which hostilities cease.
