(d)
Revise any legislation or policy hampering social inclusion, including
policies tying workers to a single employer, or preventing equal access to long-term
empowerment measures, and adopt appropriate policies to ensure the birth
registration of children born of rape as a result of trafficking;
(e)
Ensure trafficked persons’ access to long-term medical services,
including psychological and psychiatric services, and their right to family
reunification if they so wish, and provide them with access to safe and affordable
independent accommodation, as well as viable alternatives to exploitative conditions,
by facilitating their access to alternative non-exploitative employment, in cooperation
with the private sector, in order to prevent further exploitation and retrafficking;
(f)
Enact measures to grant trafficked persons’ access to information on
available judicial and non-judicial remedies, facilitate their access to civil and labour
proceedings, including by eliminating claimants’ costs and establishing a fund for
legal and financial aid to trafficked persons, and ensure that compensation is always
paid upfront, regardless of the outcome of the proceedings, when exploitation is
evidenced;
(g)
Enact measures to facilitate trafficked persons’ access to non-judicial
mechanisms, such as procedures established by labour inspectorates, national human
rights institutions and ombudspersons, trade unions and other labour mediation
mechanisms.

Companies should:
(a)
Establish grievance mechanisms in cooperation with civil society, trade
unions and worker-led initiatives, ensure their implementation, preferably managed
by a third party, including workers’ representatives, or by a civil society partner that
is trusted by workers and is well established in the area in which the mechanism
operates;
(b)
Ensure, in coordination with State authorities, that grievance
mechanisms are aligned with national referral mechanisms, and establish cooperation
protocols with such referral mechanisms to channel companies’ resources for
assistance and remedies for workers who have been subjected to trafficking or severe
exploitation.
