Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- The protection of the human rights of migrants is of paramount importance in preventing exploitation that leads to trafficking. Thus, States should respect, protect and promote the human rights of migrants, particularly labour rights in sectors where such protection has traditionally been weak or absent, such as domestic work. To that end, States should sign, ratify and enforce all relevant human rights instruments, in particular the Palermo Protocol and the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.

Paragraph
Prevention of trafficking in persons 2010, para. 58
- Paragraph text
- Nevertheless, there are encouraging signs that public-private partnerships can contribute to the prevention of trafficking, especially through the provision of vocational training and employment opportunities to vulnerable groups. In India, the Ministry of Women and Child Development has been active in promoting the public-private partnership and established the first think tank on public-private partnership to address the issue of trafficking in 2008. This led to the establishment of the Apparel Export Promotion Council to provide training in apparel production to family members of trafficking survivors. The training programme was followed by employment in factories as a means of reducing their vulnerability to trafficking. In the hospitality industry, the International Confederation of Indian Industry and the International Institute of Hotel Management provided skills training in housekeeping and in goods and beverage retail management. Following the completion of the training, the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (a government agency) and Sinar Jernih provided employment opportunities to successful candidates of this joint training programme.
