Amnesty International submits this document in response to the call for input for the report of the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences to the 56th session of the Human Rights Council on ‘prostitution and violence against women and girls’. Amnesty international, as reflected in our institutional policies, supports efforts of states to deliver on their human rights obligations and implement laws and policies designed to address all forms of violence against women and girls, including victims and survivors of trafficking, while at the same time ensuring the rights of sex workers.
