Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action 1995, para. 36
- Paragraph text
- Global trends have brought profound changes in family survival strategies and structures. Rural to urban migration has increased substantially in all regions. The global urban population is projected to reach 47 per cent of the total population by the year 2000. An estimated 125 million people are migrants, refugees and displaced persons, half of whom live in developing countries. These massive movements of people have profound consequences for family structures and well-being and have unequal consequences for women and men, including in many cases the sexual exploitation of women.

Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action 1995, para. 22

- One fourth of all households world wide are headed by women and many other households are dependent on female income even where men are present. Female- maintained households are very often among the poorest because of wage discrimination, occupational segregation patterns in the labour market and other gender-based barriers. Family disintegration, population movements between urban and rural areas within countries, international migration, war and internal displacements are factors contributing to the rise of female-headed households.

Conclusion On Women And Girls At Risk 2006, para. (c)
- Paragraph text
- Identification and analysis of the presence and severity of these different factors help determine which women and girls are at heightened risk and enable targeted responses to be devised and implemented. Identification can present particular challenges because women and girls are often less visible in displaced populations than men and boys, they may not be or feel able to report protection incidents, particularly if these occur in the private domain. It is therefore important to ensure an enabling environment which supports continuing identification and analysis of the situation.

States parties should also report on measures taken to eliminate such laws and practices and to protect women against them, including reference to available domestic remedies (see general comment No. 27, paragraphs 6 and 18).

Human rights of internally displaced persons in the context of the Post-2015 development agenda 2015, para. 62
- Paragraph text
- As women and mothers, poor and frequently from minorities, internally displaced women face multiple and intersectional challenges. Women are frequently separated from men in conflict-related displacement situations, sometimes permanently due to the death of men, or to men joining the armed conflict or being forced to flee the conflict without their families. Women also frequently have the primary responsibility of caring for children and the elderly and are less able to seek employment or income-generating activities. Despite these obstacles, internally displaced women frequently take on family and community leadership roles.

Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 18
- Paragraph text
- The impact of country visits on anti-trafficking efforts at the national, regional and international levels has also been noted by partners. In this regard, the Special Rapporteur was pleased to learn that the recommendations she made to Member States, following country visits, for reforming national legislative and anti-trafficking policy frameworks in line with international norms had largely been implemented. This has meant shifts in policy and practice around trafficking. For example, in Morocco, a new migration policy includes measures to address trafficking in persons; in Japan, the action plan to combat trafficking in persons now covers all elements of the international definition of trafficking and includes specific provisions for trafficking in men and boys; in Australia, the national action plan to combat human trafficking and slavery is set to address a number of her recommendations; and in Belarus, the national plan of action for gender equality includes measures for the protection of, and assistance to, victims of trafficking. The establishment of, or amendments to, national anti-trafficking laws in conformity with the definition in the Palermo Protocol and the ratification of international and regional instruments for the protection of victims of trafficking were also positive achievements following a country visit by the Special Rapporteur. In that regard, States, including Australia, Lebanon, Seychelles and Thailand, have promulgated new national legal instruments addressing various aspects of trafficking in persons while others, such as Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Japan, have amended the relevant anti-trafficking provisions in existing laws. Recommendations concerning the establishment or strengthening of national rapporteurs on trafficking, and equivalent mechanisms, and cooperation with civil society organizations were, for the most part, followed up. In a number of countries, interministerial anti-trafficking committees have been established and services, including hotlines and shelters, to provide assistance to victims of trafficking put in place (Japan, Lebanon, Seychelles). Examples of how States have strengthened their partnerships with authorities in source, transfer and destination countries include bilateral agreements entered into with other States, as was done by Bosnia and Herzegovina and Thailand, or by supporting various anti-trafficking programmes in source countries such as Japan. A number of countries have also strengthened collaboration with civil society organizations in the provision of assistance to victims of trafficking and the development of national referral guidelines for the identification of, and support to, victims in a coordinated manner.

Stocktaking exercise on the work of the mandate on its tenth Anniversary 2014, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- Partners have emphasized that the mandate holders could make a further contribution to the understanding of trafficking in persons by continuing to provide greater clarity on emerging and new forms of trafficking. Some themes proposed in this regard include trafficking for the purpose of forced labour (outside the sex sector), begging, criminality and forced marriage. The issue of trafficking of men and boys and the link between trafficking and corruption were also proposed. Further research on trafficking in persons for the purpose of organ removal and on prosecutions and punishments was deemed useful to determine the types of penalty imposed on traffickers and to what extent they acted as a deterrent. A focus on strengthening the accountability of non-State actors and the engagement of civil society in the efforts to combat trafficking in persons was also suggested.

Gender-related killings of women 2012, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- The growing sociopolitical phenomena of gangs, organized crime, drug dealers, human and drug trafficking chains, massive migration and the proliferation of small arms have had a devastating impact on women's lives, particularly in Mexico and Central America. The northern triangle of Central America has the highest rates of homicide in a non-conflict context. The rate of killings of men has been stable during the last decade, but there has been an increase in the rates of killings of women. In 2004 in Guatemala, murders of women increased 141 per cent, as opposed to 68 per cent for men; in El Salvador in 2006 murders of women increased 111 per cent, compared to 40 per cent for men; and in Honduras in 2007 murders of women increased 166 per cent, compared to 40 per cent for men.

- Articles 1 to 3 of the Convention also support the right of women to benefit, on an equal basis with men, from naturalization for themselves and their spouses. Discrimination against women in this respect impedes the reduction of statelessness. The same holds true when women are unable to confer their nationality on their stateless spouses. It may also create further risks of statelessness in the case of children born out of such unions.
