Take effective steps to counter migrant trafficking and smuggling, and other illegal practices which specifically target and victimise migrant women and men. viii. Ensure adequate treatment and access to justice in the context of applicable human rights instruments, of women, men and children that are victims of trafficking and sexual slavery. ix. Promote informational/educational campaigns to raise awareness about the gender dimension of migration among migrants, those affected by migration, and policy makers and personnel involved in migration, especially in the managing of the migration process. x.

Whether migration is forced, as reflected in the very high percentage of children in refugee camps, or voluntary, the special needs of children, adolescents and youths need to be catered for, and includes adequate health care, education, shelter and protection from rights violations. In many parts of the world, including certain regions in Africa, child trafficking is a critical challenge that must be addressed from different angles, including targeted prevention campaigns, protection and assistance to victims of trafficking, training of relevant authorities on how to address trafficking challenges and prosecution of traffickers and their accomplices. 79
