A/HRC/23/48 audiences. Some public information is about trafficking in persons in general, while some focuses more specifically on the risk that the purchase of certain services (particularly sexual services) or products will contribute to the exploitation of people who have been trafficked, so the intention of providing information is to influence the spending decisions of those who receive information. For information to be effective in discouraging demand, it needs to be provided to specific audiences which have been identified as constituting a demand factor or being able to influence demand, with the content of the information being tailored to have the intended influence. During the Special Rapporteur‟s country visits, she has heard of examples in which information has not been well-designed or targeted (and has therefore not had the desired effect). She has concluded that people who have been trafficked should routinely be consulted in the design, monitoring and evaluation of such efforts.17 43. A variety of social and child protection measures are aimed at alleviating harsh social or economic conditions which might otherwise encourage demand. States in various parts of the world have reported implementing measures that specifically concern migrant domestic workers employed in private households, especially in the context of employers who enjoy privileges, immunities and facilities. In such cases, States have generally concluded that the migrant domestic worker should have a formal contract establishing a minimum wage and stipulating the maximum number of working hours per week, as well as other conditions.18 44. Some measures reported explicitly address cultural practices which generate demand that fosters exploitation. For instance, for several decades children were reportedly trafficked to Gulf States from other countries to ride as jockeys in camel races. From 2005, some countries in the region banned the use of children as camel jockeys. 45. Giving charity to beggars is intrinsic to the culture and religious beliefs of people in many regions. When traffickers take advantage of this (for example, supplying children to beggar masters or maiming children or adults so they inspire more pity and earn more money for the beggar masters who take their earnings), a response is required which respects the values and beliefs of donors, but nevertheless intervenes to protect beggars who have been trafficked and discourages donations which go partly or largely to traffickers or to beggar masters. 46. The Special Rapporteur has analysed the question of trafficking in persons in business supply chains, including corporate responsibilities to prevent and combat human trafficking in their supply chains, in her 2012 report to the General Assembly (A/67/261). In the report, she noted that in today‟s globalized world, the risks of human trafficking in supply chains are significant throughout economic sectors, and have not been adequately dealt with, either by States or by businesses themselves (ibid., para. 48). 47. Some businesses are reported to have taken a series of measures to discourage child labour in general and the commercial sexual exploitation of children in particular. Businesses and other organizations which buy services or products from others can take a wide range of measures to discourage demand for the exploitation of persons, both in terms of discouraging any demand that they potentially create themselves (for example, when seeking to lower their production costs by cutting wages) and discouraging demand by others with whom they do business. Many of these are voluntary commitments (including some which involve a business entering into legally binding commitments with other businesses in its supply or product chain). Commitments routinely take the form of codes of 17 18 12 Report of the Special Rapporteur on her mission to Thailand, A/HRC/20/18/Add.2, para. 77 (c). CTOC/COP/2012/4, para. 28.
