Integration of a human rights-based approach in measures to discourage the demand that fosters all forms of exploitation of persons, especially women and children, and which leads to human trafficking 2013, para. 85h
- Paragraph text
- [Taking in account States' obligations under international human rights law, the Special Rapporteur would like to offer a set of recommendations which may serve as a basis for human rights-based measures to discourage the demand that fosters or leads to trafficking in persons:] States should seek the views of representatives of any particular group of people who would potentially be affected by measures to prevent human trafficking in a significant way and take these views into account when designing measures to discourage demand. Seeking the views of such people means collecting relevant information from people who, on account of their experience, are likely to be well-informed about the shortcomings, gaps or unintended consequences of existing policies and practices. In particular, as highlighted by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, States have a responsibility to listen to and take into account the views of children who may be impacted by any measures to discourage demand.
