Women migrant workers 2008, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- Women migrant workers may face sex- and gender-based discrimination, including compulsory HIV and AIDS testing for women returnees, moral "rehabilitation" for young women returnees and increased personal and social costs compared to men, without adequate gender-responsive services. For example, men may return to a stable family situation, whereas women may find disintegration of the family upon their return, with their absence from home regarded as the cause of such disintegration. There may also be a lack of protection against reprisals from exploitative recruiting agents.

Vulnerabilities of children to sale, trafficking and other forms of exploitation in situations of conflict and humanitarian crisis 2017, para. 83b
- Paragraph text
- [In terms of access to justice, prosecution and sanctions, States, in cooperation with United Nations agencies and programmes, international organizations, host countries and civil society organizations, should:] Ensure that legislation, policies, measures and practices guarantee child-sensitive due processes in all migration-related administrative and judicial proceedings affecting the rights of children or of their parents. All children, including those accompanied by parents or other legal guardians, must be treated as individual rights-holders, not criminals, their child-specific needs must be considered equally and individually and their views must be duly heard. They must have access to administrative and judicial remedies against decisions on their own situation or that of their parents that affect them in order to guarantee that all decisions are taken in their best interests. Children should be able to bring complaints beyond legal or court procedures at lower levels that should be easily accessible to them, such as those of child protection and youth institutions, schools or the ombudsperson, and they should be able to receive advice from professionals in a child-sensitive manner when their rights have been violated;

Paragraph
Vulnerabilities of children to sale, trafficking and other forms of exploitation in situations of conflict and humanitarian crisis 2017, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- As one of the main destinations for children on the move who are fleeing violence, conflict and humanitarian crisis, Europe is at the heart of the sale of, trafficking in and other forms of exploitation of children. In Europe, child trafficking has increased sharply owing to the migration crisis. High rates of trafficking in and exploitation of children have been documented on the central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Italy. While in transit from sub-Saharan Africa to Europe, young Somalis become victims of frequent and serious violence at the hands of traffickers, criminal gangs and Libyan groups. Those children are frequently detained in Libyan jails until a ransom of about $2,000 is paid.

- Paragraph text
- Encouraging examples of court engagement include the case of a young Togolese domestic worker held in forced labour, where the court found that the State had a duty to criminalize grave labour exploitation by private entities. In Norway, workers can take legal action in court when their rights are violated. Access to court is free and free legal aid is available to those below a certain income threshold. At Service Centres for Foreign Workers, relevant government departments work together to inform foreign nationals arriving in Norway for employment of their rights and help them to promptly process their applications.

- The Special Representative is particularly pleased to note the efforts of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to increase access among refugees and internally displaced persons to education, even in the emergency phases of its operations. The UNHCR focus on access to education as a protection tool to prevent forced recruitment, sexual violence, child labour and early or forced marriages is a step in the right direction.

Rights of indigenous peoples, including their economic, social and cultural rights in the post-2015 development framework 2014, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- The existence of relevant information is a vital precondition for devising adequate policy responses for addressing inequalities and for monitoring the effectiveness of measures to overcome discrimination, both within and between countries, as well as for identifying additional gender-based discrimination. In this context, the Special Rapporteur commends the efforts of the Economic Commission on Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) to "democratize information". With the support of a number of United Nations agencies, donor agencies and private funders, the Commission has established a comprehensive database, which provides sociodemographic data on indigenous peoples and Afro-descendants in the region, including data disaggregated by sex and age, as well as data on internal migration, health, youth and the territorial distribution of inequalities. The basis of much of this impressive work is the inclusion by most countries in Latin America of an "indigenous identifier" into their 2000 census round, thus building data through the self-identification of individuals as being a member of an indigenous community.
