The right to an effective remedy for trafficked persons 2011, para. 34
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- While different factors affect the efficacy of criminal, civil and labour proceedings, common obstacles for trafficked persons to seek compensation through legal proceedings include: failure to identify trafficked persons and accord them regular residence status; lack of adequate support in recovery of trafficked persons; lack of information and knowledge on the part of trafficked persons; lack of free legal aid available; lack of capacities, knowledge and experience on the part of the judiciary and lawyers in seeking compensation for trafficked persons; and inadequate witness protection programmes to guarantee the safety and security of trafficked persons and their family members. Further, trafficked women who are also victims of sexual and gender-based violence may also face additional obstacles in pursuing legal proceedings, as participation in such proceedings may expose them to re-victimization in the form of psychological harm, stigma and communal and family ostracism.
