The last part of the Report builds upon the October Alliance Conference “An Agenda for Prevention: Non Discrimination and Empowerment”, with an action-oriented paper highlighting how full recognition of the existing linkage between trafficking and discrimination can lead to new paths for advocacy, and make it possible that anti-trafficking and non-discrimination policies enhance each other.
