UN COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN
2019 HALF-DAY DISCUSSION ON TRAFFICKING IN WOMEN & GIRLS IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL MIGRATION
On the occasion of its 72nd session, to be held in Geneva from 18 February to 8 March 2019, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women will hold a half-day of general discussion on trafficking in women and girls in the context of global migration in the framework of the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. The half-day of general discussion has been organized by OHCHR.
The purpose of the half-day of general discussion is to prepare the elaboration by the Committee of a General Recommendation on trafficking in women and girls in the context of global migration. The aim of the general recommendation will be to provide guidance to States parties to the Convention on the measures they should adopt to ensure full compliance with their obligations to respect, protect and fulfil women's human rights in the context of trafficking and global migration.
Date and Venue
The general discussion will take place at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Conference Room XVI, on Friday, 22 February 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women invites States parties to the CEDAW Convention, United Nations entities and specialized agencies, other United Nations human rights mechanisms, non-governmental organizations and other interested stakeholders to participate in the general discussion and to provide written submissions.
