rights-based approach to trafficking

A rights-based approach to trafficking emphasizes the protection and respect of human rights for all individuals affected by trafficking. This approach views trafficking not just as a crime but as a violation of human rights, focusing on the needs and rights of victims. It advocates for legal and social frameworks that ensure victims receive support, justice, and protection, rather than punishment or stigma. By prioritizing human dignity, this approach aims to address the root causes of trafficking, empower victims, and promote systemic changes to prevent future occurrences.
