Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 39
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The mandate holders have ascertained that the failure to protect the rights of workers, and in particular migrant workers, is a major contribution to exploitation related to trafficking. By way of prevention, the Special Rapporteur has repeatedly called on States to strengthen enforcement of labour laws and build the capacities of labour inspectorates to supervise workplaces, including common sites of exploitation for trafficked persons such as brothels, private homes, farms and small factories, and take steps to regulate the recruitment agencies, which along with the legitimate businesses that use their services, are profiting handsomely from the exploitation of migrant workers.
