A/RES/65/190
5.
Welcomes the efforts of Governments, United Nations bodies and
agencies and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations to address the
particular problem of trafficking in women and girls, and encourages them to further
enhance their efforts and cooperation, including by sharing their knowledge,
technical expertise and best practices as widely as possible;
Encourages the United Nations system to mainstream, as appropriate, the
6.
issue of trafficking in persons, especially women and girls, into its broader policies
and programmes aimed at addressing economic and social development, human
rights, the rule of law, good governance, education, health and natural disaster and
post-conflict reconstruction;
Calls upon Governments to address, with a view to eliminating, the
7.
demand that fosters the trafficking of women and girls for all forms of exploitation
and in this regard to enhance preventive measures, including legislative measures, to
deter exploiters of trafficked persons, as well as ensure their accountability;
Also calls upon Governments to take appropriate measures to address the
8.
factors that increase vulnerability to being trafficked, including poverty and gender
inequality, as well as other factors that encourage the particular problem of
trafficking in women and girls for prostitution and other forms of commercialized
sex, forced marriage, forced labour and organ removal, in order to prevent and
eliminate such trafficking, including by strengthening existing legislation with a
view to providing better protection of the rights of women and girls and to
punishing perpetrators, including public officials engaging in or facilitating human
trafficking, through, as appropriate, criminal and/or civil measures;
Calls upon Governments, the international community and all other
9.
organizations and entities that deal with conflict, post-conflict, disaster and other
emergency situations to address the heightened vulnerability of women and girls to
trafficking and exploitation and associated gender-based violence;
10. Urges Governments to devise, enforce and strengthen effective
gender- and age-sensitive measures to combat and eliminate all forms of trafficking
in women and girls, including for sexual and economic exploitation, as part of a
comprehensive anti-trafficking strategy that integrates a human rights perspective,
and to draw up, as appropriate, national action plans in this regard;
11. Also urges Governments, in cooperation with intergovernmental and
non-governmental organizations, to support and allocate resources to strengthen
preventive action, in particular education for women and men, as well as for girls
and boys, on gender equality, self-respect and mutual respect, and campaigns,
carried out in collaboration with civil society, to increase public awareness of the
issue at the national and grass-roots levels;
12. Reiterates the importance of continued coordination among, inter alia,
the Special Rapporteur of the Human Rights Council on trafficking in persons,
especially women and children, the Special Rapporteur of the Council on the sale of
children, child prostitution and child pornography and the Special Rapporteur of the
Council on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences,
in order to avoid unnecessary duplication in their activities in fulfilment of their
mandates;
13. Encourages Governments to take appropriate measures to eliminate sex
tourism demand, especially for children, through all possible preventive actions;
