In a statement to mark Anti-Trafficking Day, the Council of Europe’s Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) has called for full respect for the rights of victims of trafficking in human beings during the restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the face of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, GRETA has maintained its efforts to ensure that the thousands of women, men and children who are victims of trafficking in human beings, while being out of sight, do not slip out of mind. Country monitoring to oversee the implementation of the Convention continues, as does the ongoing dialogue with the national authorities and civil society.
