The demands:

I call on governments around the world to:

1. Make combating trafficking a priority and put the protection of the trafficked person at the centre of any anti-trafficking policy.
2. Sign and ratify the United Nations Protocol on Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (2000) and the UN Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers (1990).
3. Introduce legislation which makes trafficking in human beings a criminal offence with punishments that are appropriate for the seriousness of the crimes committed.
4. Fund a specialised agency to provide support and assistance to victims of trafficking, including appropriate accommodation, medical, psychological and legal assistance and training or employment opportunities.
5. Ensure that all victims of trafficking who are at risk of being attacked or trafficked again can stay in the country to which they have been trafficked, irrespective of whether they co-operate with a prosecution.
6. Ensure that all anti-trafficking efforts are non-discriminatory and do not adversely affect other vulnerable groups such as refugees or migrants.
