ReliefWeb.com (Geneva) – The UN Committees on the Rights of the Child, the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities advised the Pakistani government and flood relief groups on how to quickly prevent the growth of human trafficking forces among specific citizens in flooded regions. The committees focused on rebuilding medical, communication, housing, education, and labor infrastructure for women and children. The committees maintain that pre-flood levels of poor education and health among women and children in rural areas (mainly the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province), coupled with flood damage, increases trafficking vulnerability for the two groups. The committee also called for equal delivery and prevention of discrimination aid for women, children, and persons with disability to prevent their exploitation from traffickers and other criminals by ensuring stable conditions for these groups.
