Alarmed by the increasing vulnerability of women, children, and marginalized groups to human
traffickers,
Deeply disturbed by the increase of online trafficking between 2019 and 2021 by 130%,
according to The U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC),
Realizing 10% of people on the planet do not have access to the internet through a smartphone
and therefore any means of being made aware of human trafficking,
Alarmed by the fact that only 22% of refugees in rural areas who are already a vulnerable group
to human traffickers do not have any access to the internet, causing a major gap in the spread of
awareness of human trafficking,
Recalling past steps globally to mitigate and prevent human trafficking such as:
i. The Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings
ii. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000
iii. The EU Anti-trafficking Directive
iv. The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women
and Children (also referred to as the Trafficking Protocol or UN TIP Protocol),
Fully aware much more can be done to eradicate human trafficking globally,
1. Encourages all United Nations member states to collaborate and contribute finances to fund
efforts to spread awareness on :
i. Tactics used to recruit victims
ii. Indicators of a person being trafficked
iii. Vulnerable groups to trafficking and how such groups (e.g. women and children) can
avoid falling prey to human traffickers
iv. Emergency hotlines to report trafficking
The watchdog will be Financing of Terrorism (GPML), part of the UNODC,
2. Takes note of the notable actions to set up laws to punish any involved in trafficking, but
encourages UN member states to set up more stringent measures and much tighter laws to punish
those caught trafficking:
3. Requests for more funding to organizations like UNICEF which prioritize the wellbeing of
vulnerable groups like children. A watchdog will be Financing of Terrorism (GPML), part of the
UNODC :
4. Urges all UN member states to set up labor laws which protect the human rights of migrant
workers:
5. Calls upon all governments to take the initiative to reduce homeless or idle children on streets
( of which 33% face a risk of being approached by traffickers every 2 days) through both public
and private care homes for the children:
6. Emphasizes the need to end civil and other wars globally to reduce human trafficking of
migrants due to physical, political, economic, and emotional turmoil the migrants face:
7. Further recommends governments illegalize businesses that greatly rely on trafficking like
prostitution:
8. Calls upon governments to create a follow-up process for all children adopted by individuals to
protect them from labor, physical, or sexual exploitation:
9. Encourages governments of UN member states to create safe spaces for marginalized groups
such as LGBTQI+ in each country to give them the acceptance and sense community they need:
10. Call upon all governments to create monthly follow-up processes for all asylum seekers,
refugees, and migrants to protect them, through being in the know of their safety:
11. Recommends the P5: China, United States of America, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom
to set stringent sanctions on countries that refuse to take required judicial action or adhere to
laws such as :
i. The Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings
ii. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000
iii. The EU Anti-trafficking Directive
iv. The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women
and Children (also referred to as the Trafficking Protocol or UN TIP Protocol):
