Ms. Maria Michail, Permanent Representative of Cyprus, and H.E. Mr. Jonibek Hikmat, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Tajikistan, for their excellent\u00a0leadership as co-facilitators of the modalities resolution of the high-level meeting and in leading consultations on the political declaration.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons remains central to the implementation of the Âé¶¹APP Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime and its Protocol on Trafficking in Persons.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The four-year appraisal of the Global Plan of Action is a critical opportunity to reassess commitments aimed at eradicating trafficking in persons.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It is a call to collective accountability.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The political declaration to be adopted must reflect the urgency of ending trafficking in persons, which is a grave violation of human rights.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And it must reflect the diversity of voices affected by this heinous crime \u2013 especially those of survivors and populations most vulnerable to exploitation, who are mainly women and children.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>For this, we need your insights to better understand realities on the ground \u2013 and the multiple, evolving factors that create risk.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Despite our best efforts, the number of victims worldwide has surged 35 percent since 2019, surpassing pre-pandemic levels.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Women and girls represent 61 percent of detected victims \u2013 most of them are trafficked for sexual exploitation.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Equally concerning is the rapid rise in the number of children being trafficked.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We are also seeing a shift in patterns.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Victims trafficked for forced labour now account for the largest share of victims around the world.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Traffickers are exploiting digital tools to recruit, control, and hide victims, making detection and prosecution increasingly difficult.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And organized criminal networks are adapting, developing new models of exploitation, such as trafficking for forced criminality.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>These trends make clear:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Trafficking in persons is a global phenomenon \u2013 affecting more nationalities, more destination countries, and increasingly diverse victims than ever before.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It is a crime that affects us all.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>And it is one driven by factors that we know all too well: poverty, unemployment, conflict, displacement, and the climate crisis, among others.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This complex landscape demands a vigilant, adaptable, and coordinated global response.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fortunately, we are not without guidance.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development contains specific goals and targets on trafficking.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Through the Global Plan of Action, we have a roadmap to coordinate our efforts.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now is the time to realign our actions with our ambitions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I urge Member States to contribute to the Âé¶¹APP Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But we cannot win this fight without partnerships.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Civil society, academia, and the private sector all play an indispensable role in prevention \u2013 raising awareness, exposing trafficking networks, and supporting survivors.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Your views are central to the design of effective strategies and the setting of priorities.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They will feed into the political declaration and contribute to the ongoing negotiations.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Today\u2019s hearing is our opportunity to listen \u2013 and importantly \u2013 to learn from your expertise.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>With that, I look forward to your insights and invite you to make the most of this hearing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I thank you.\u201d End quote.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"x_Signature\">\n<p><b>___<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Media
