Seventh Chapter: Recommendations

In the Report last year we called upon the State of Israel to implement the
following recommendations stated in the Commission on Human Rights resolution
2001/48 and in the Working Group on Contemporary Forms of Slavery -
Sub-Commission on Human Rights resolution 2001/14:

Traffic in women and girls

Commission on Human Rights resolution 2001/48


The Commission on Human Rights,

6. Urges Governments to take appropriate measures to address
the root factors, including external factors, that encourage trafficking
in women and children, in particular girls, for prostitution and other
forms of commercialized sex, forced marriages and forced labour, so as
to eliminate trafficking in women, including by strengthening existing
legislation with a view to providing better protection of the rights of
women and girls and to punishing perpetrators, through both criminal
and civil mesures;
The State of Israel should therefore:


8. Calls upon Governments to criminalize trafficking in women
and children in all its forms and to condemn and penalize traffickers
and intermediaries, while ensuring protection and assistance to the
victims of trafficking with full respect for their human rights;
The State of Israel should therefore:


9. Encourages Governments to conclude bilateral, subregional, regional and
international agreements to address the problem of trafficking in women and
children, in particular girls;
The State of Israel should therefore:

14. Calls upon concerned Governments to allocate resources, as
appropriate, to provide comprehensive programmes designed to heal and
rehabilitate into society victims of trafficking, including through job
training, legal assistance and health care and by taking measures to
cooperate with non-governmental organizations to provide for the social,
medical and psychological care of the victims;
The State of Israel should therefore:


All the above recommendations were taken into consideration in the reports
of the "Inter-ministerial committee to study and combat the trafficking in
persons for prostitution purposes" and the "Parliamentary Investigation
Committee on Trafficking in Women" but still the police forces are not
sufficiently aware of the issue of prostitution and are therefore still
unable to handle it properly. We therefore recommend the Interior Security
Ministry to develop training sessions for police forces on TIP as well as
on prostitution. It is unacceptable to see public authority representatives
in charge of the fight against TIP to be clients of organized prostitution,
which is by definition linked to organized crime.


On a more general level it is essential to develop an education based on
gender and sexual equality but also on the respect for the other whoever he/she
is. Two of the worrying points noticed by Machon Toda`a lately are the development
of a demand from women for prostitution, pornography and BDSM that cannot be
considered anymore as limited to men. To fight pornography and prostitution, we
need to talk about human sexuality. How can we tolerate relations based on power
(money, violence, mental, physical, emotional and economic abuse) that allow the
buying and selling of the human body as a mere commodity in an age where human
rights are so firmly on the global agenda?
