A/HRC/12/21 page 23 • Programmes should be developed by States to protect and restore the rights and dignity of persons who are victims of forced and bonded labour. These programmes should include well-thought-out rescue and rehabilitation programmes, establishment of shelters for victims, and complex programmes for long-term sustainable rehabilitation and restoration of dignity. • Cooperation among States, specifically on the situation of migrant domestic workers, is important. Bilateral and multilateral agreements between States, labour agencies and/or trade unions should be developed. • Outreach and direct support programmes should be developed to address specific situations of risk. • International agencies and NGOs working to maximize the impact of development or technical assistance programmes in the field and address the issues of forced and bonded labourers should enhance cooperation and coordination. -----
