OBJECTIVE 10 - ERADICATE TRAFFICKING

Through deception, coercion, or threats (physical or psychological), victims of human trafficking can be exploited in various forms including forced labour, begging, organ removal, sexual exploitation etc. The actual act of trafficking includes any or all of the following: recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons.

Addressing trafficking in persons including through prevention efforts, protection of its victims and prosecution of its perpetrators, is a key component of broad migration management and essential in the protection of human rights of migrants.

This includes developing policies and partnerships at local, national, regional and international levels, strengthening legal frameworks and policies, promoting dialogue and cooperation on counter-trafficking, developing victim identification and assistance mechanisms, and facilitating the collection and analysis of human trafficking data.

All measures need to be gender- and age-sensitive to focus on certain types of trafficking to which women, girls and boys may be particularly vulnerable, such as trafficking for sexual exploitation, forced marriage or forced begging.
