Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 32
- Paragraph text
- The protection of the child during migration demanded the consideration of issues related to irregular migration, since they affected the child's enjoyment of human rights. The protection of children during migration necessarily implied a gender dimension, since women and girls accounted for almost half of international migrants, and girls migrating either on their own or accompanied are vulnerable to sexual violence and gender-based human rights violations.

Labour exploitation of migrants 2014, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- Establish coherent and comprehensive gender-sensitive national migration policies addressing all stages of the migration process, coordinated across government and developed in widespread consultation with national human rights institutions, the private sector, employers' and workers' organizations, civil society and migrants themselves, and with the support of international organizations. Ministries responsible for, inter alia, health, education, employment, children and social policies should be fully involved in the elaboration of such migration policies. The policies should have a human rights-based approach, and should include ethical recruitment practices, effective implementation of labour standards for all migrant workers, meeting labour needs at all skills levels, and more effective matching of labour supply and demand.
