b) Awareness Programs:
The media should play an important role in informing and educate the public through newspaper, radio
and other modes of communication, and should be targeted as a key partner in preventing and ending
trafficking; this program would be coordinated by UNESCO.

c) Supply and demand sides:

Analysing the factors that generate demand and supply for exploitative commercial sexual services
and exploitative labour and taking strong legislative and other measures to address this issues, this
research is contemplating the help of UNICRI in its three programs addressing fight against
corruption, the global programme in human trafficking and global studies on organized crime.

11.-Suggest countries to build shelters and safe houses for victims which would be supported by
International Monetary Found and the volunteer governments. Observing the health and psychological
conditions of people who have been rescued, the UN trusts that the delegations will provide the means to
encourage reintegration into society in a proper way.

Cognizant of how hard is for abused people to feel confident and safe, the UN considers as solutions:
a) To be deeply convinced that the shelters are in conditions to provide a complete treatment to
patients.
Being aware that the International Monetary Found will only provide funding to the countries that have
concise projects and that are willing to respect the agreements.

12.- Aware of the victim’s suffering and state, the UN invites all countries to consider the possibility for
the victims to be taken to their country-of-origin’s embassy or consulate and/or offer the possibility of
staying in the destination country. According to the terms that were established in this committee, the
victims will be reported to their origin countries.
a) In case the victim must decide to stay in the country, the government should then provide the
documents that establish that the victim has a legal residence in the country that was defined.
b) The traffic victims should also be invited to return to their origin countries.
c) In case the victim decides to stay in the country where he/she was trafficked into, invites all
nations to support the legal residence of the trafficked victim.
