Origin
2024 - Fourth part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 6 with the following paragraph:

"The Assembly notes that trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation, especially in the sex market, is the primary cause behind trafficking in human beings, particularly with regard to women and girls. To this regard, it is of extreme importance that policies adopted by member States take into account any data and figures available on the matter and include in their process of decision-making the voices of those who experienced prostitution or work with survivors, as they are best placed to identify where prostituted persons are also victims of trafficking."
