It has simply evolved.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Today, it takes new names \u2014 human trafficking, sexual exploitation, forced labour, and child and forced marriage.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And increasingly, it is enabled by digital tools that allow exploitation to spread faster, further, and with greater anonymity.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Despite decades of collective effort, millions of people remain trapped in trafficking and related forms of exploitation on any given day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Today, we will hear some of the horrific stories behind that number, including that of Shamere McKenzie who endured 18 harrowing months of trafficking.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">But as I said during the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, we are not talking about victims.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">We are talking about survivors, heroes, the strongest fighters for human rights.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And this is why I will focus also in my introductory speech on the solutions that Member States are entrusted with carrying forward to prevent trafficking, protect victims, and end impunity.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Because even if we cannot eliminate the darkest impulses of humanity entirely, we <i>can<\/i>\u00a0eliminate the systems that enable them.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Allow me to offer three priorities for our work ahead.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">First \u2014 we need strong, enforced, and comprehensive legislation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Women and girls comprise 61 per cent of victims of human trafficking, most of which for sexual exploitation, and over 20 per cent face forced labour, servitude, or forced marriage.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And more fall victim every day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">We need laws that explicitly criminalize sexual exploitation, child and forced marriage, and all forms of trafficking.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And they must be implemented strictly, uniformly, and without exception.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">We cannot turn a blind eye when these violations occur every day, and even in major global cities, sometimes next door.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And the challenge extends beyond sexual exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">In 2022, forced labour accounted for 42 per cent of trafficking cases, surpassing sexual exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Yet only 17 per cent of global convictions were for labour trafficking.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">This is a profound protection and justice gap.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And there is a close link between exploitation and migration.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Because when people flee conflict, disaster, or economic desperation without safe and legal pathways for migration, they are far more vulnerable to exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Migrant workers are three times more likely to be exploited than non-migrants.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">But we also have examples of how strong migrant and refugee protection policies paired with effective coordination can prevent trafficking.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Following the conflict in Ukraine, over 14 million people were displaced.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Yet despite a small increase in 2023, cases of human trafficking are currently significantly below pre-2022 levels.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Why? Because neighbouring states acted quickly: granting visa-free entry, offering temporary protection, launching information campaigns, and coordinating law enforcement.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Humane and organized migration policies can dramatically reduce trafficking risks.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">As we look ahead to the upcoming review of the Global Compact for Migration, Member States have the opportunity to underline the importance of strong global standards that protect migrants and reduce the risks of exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Second \u2014 we must confront the new digital frontier of trafficking.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Technology has expanded the reach, scale, and sophistication of exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Traffickers now use AI tools, encrypted platforms, and deepfake technologies to create fake personas, hide their networks, and even produce AI-generated child sexual abuse material.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Fake online job offers lure victims into committing cyber scams \u2014 generating an estimated 40 billion US dollars a year.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Trafficking of persons for exploitation in criminal activities has risen from about 1 per cent of total victims in 2016 to 8 per cent in 2022.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Many individuals who commit online scams are in fact victims themselves \u2014 coerced, detained, and abused.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">This is why the non-punishment principle must be upheld \u2014 to ensure that victims are never criminalized for acts committed as a result of their own exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Our legal frameworks must keep pace with technologies.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">That means modernized laws, updated standards, and strengthened cross-border cooperation to detect, disrupt, and dismantle digital trafficking networks.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And the private sector has a role to play too.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Online platforms, financial institutions, supply-chain actors, and telecom providers must help prevent technology-facilitated trafficking and ensure ethical business practices.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t know\u201d is simply not an acceptable excuse.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Third \u2013 we must tackle the root causes of trafficking: poverty, conflict, displacement, gender discrimination, and climate vulnerability.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Desperate people are faced with desperate choices, and vulnerable people are preyed upon.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">In times of war and conflict, the risks of exploitation rise sharply.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Women and children face acute threats \u2014 from conflict-related sexual violence and sexual slavery to recruitment of children as combatants and labourers by armed groups.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And even in times of peace \u2014 poverty, hunger, and lack of opportunity provide traffickers with fertile ground for exploitation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">To reduce these risks, we must invest in conflict resolution, poverty reduction, climate adaptation, economic opportunity, and safe migration pathways \u2014 and ensure that anti-trafficking measures are integrated across education, labour systems, and humanitarian response.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">\n<p>Civil society \u2014 especially survivor-led organizations \u2014 are indispensable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Their expertise strengthens awareness, early detection, and community resilience.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Ultimately \u2013 preventing crises, implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, and fighting hunger and poverty is the best prevention against trafficking.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Ladies and gentlemen,<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">A crime as pervasive and cross-national as trafficking requires an equally determined and coordinated response.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">A whole-of-society approach \u2014 grounded in justice, data, and human dignity \u2014 is essential to ensure that survivors are supported and that traffickers are held fully accountable.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Governments must translate global commitments into national action that is fully funded, measurable, and centred on victims\u2019 rights.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">The private sector must help detect and disrupt exploitation across digital and economic systems.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">And civil society and survivors must be empowered as partners, watchdogs, and leaders in shaping solutions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">If we act together<a name=\"_Hlk214484289\"><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 decisively, urgently, and with clarity of purpose \u2014 we can build a world where \u2014 to use the words of the United Nations Charter \u2014\u00a0 \u201cthe dignity and worth of the human person\u201d is always respected.<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">\n<div
