On the occasion of Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children, Siobhán Mullally’s visit to New York during the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), IPI, in partnership with the Permanent Missions of Ireland, Sierra Leone, and Switzerland to the United Nations, cohosted a policy forum on “Trafficking in Persons, WPS, and Peacebuilding,” on March 20th.

Despite a recognition of the links between trafficking in persons and conflict, there has been limited attention paid to trafficking in persons in the reporting on and monitoring of the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000). To date, the resolutions adopted on women, peace, and security (WPS) have focused primarily on sexual violence in conflict. Trafficking in persons is recognized as a form of sexual violence in conflict. However, it is critical that we now effectively implement all pillars of the WPS agenda in ensuring the participation and leadership of those most affected by conflict-related trafficking in persons; in the design and implementation of peacebuilding measures; and in the recovery programs that ensure economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as civil and political rights. In advance of the twenty-fifth anniversary of both the adoption of resolution 1325 and the Trafficking in Persons Protocol (the Palermo Protocol), there is a need to strengthen these policies by better integrating considerations on trafficking in persons into the WPS agenda.
