Can ILO-IPEC actually prevent trafficking in children and women?
Our specific mandate is to contribute to the elimination of labour exploitation of children and women. Working to prevent trafficking in these groups is a major step in that direction. We are laying the foundation for effective prevention, but it is up to the policy makers of each country and their societies as a whole, including employers and workers organizations to join forces in working toward sustainable reductions in the supply and demand for the exploitative labour of trafficking victims, thereby leading toward the elimination of human trafficking and child labour.
