On 27th September, the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers adopted a Recommendation on trafficking for labour exploitation. Together with CCEM, PICUM and others, La Strada International observed the development of the recommendation and provided feedback during 3 rounds in October 2021 and April and June 2022, to ensure important rights provisions for victims of labour exploitation were included. La Strada International is happy with the right provisions for victims of trafficking for labour exploitation that are included in the final text of the recommendation.
