In its resolution 61/144, on trafficking in women and girls, the General Assembly called on Governments to strengthen their national efforts to combat and eliminate trafficking in women and girls, and to implement actions at the bilateral, subregional, regional and international levels in cooperation with all relevant actors, including States, intergovernmental organizations and civil society; called upon Governments to criminalize all forms of trafficking in persons, strengthen preventive action, protect and support victims of trafficking, and enhance information-sharing and data collection; requested the Secretary-General to submit to it at its sixty-third session a report that compiled successful interventions and strategies, as well as challenges, in addressing the gender dimensions of the problem of trafficking in persons, that identified gender-related aspects of anti-trafficking efforts that remained unaddressed or inadequately addressed, and that evaluated measures taken through appropriate indicators. The present report is submitted in accordance with that request and is based, inter alia, on information received from Member States, entities of the United Nations system and other organizations. It covers the period since the last report (A/59/185) up to 6 June 2008. |
