The coronavirus is not only claiming hundreds of thousands of lives, but is also causing a global economic crisis that is expected to rival or exceed that of any recession in the past 150 years. Although decisive action and containment measures are helping flatten the curve of infection, such measures inevitably deepen and lengthen the economic recession.In the worst-case scenario, the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that up to 25 million people will lose their jobs worldwide.Poverty, lack of social or economic opportunity and limited labour protections are the main root causes and drivers that render people vulnerable or cause them to fall victim to human trafficking. This unprecedented crisis will likely exacerbate all of those factors and result in developments that must be noted by antihuman-trafficking communities and stakeholders.

En la resolucion 63/156, la Asamblea General resaltó la necesidad de proteger y ayudar a todas las víctimas de la trata, respetando plenamente sus derechos humanos, y enunció medidas concretas, dirigidas a los Estados y otras partes interesadas, para prevenir y eliminar la trata de personas, en particular de mujeres y niños. La Asamblea pidió al Secretario General que le presentará en su sexagésimo quinto periodo de sesiones, un informe sobre la cuestión. El presente informe se ha elaborado en respuesta a esa solicitud y se divide en cuatro partes: la primera parte es la introducción; la segunda parte contiene las medidas adoptadas por los Estados miembros y; la tercera parte enuncia las actividades emprendidas por el sistema de las Naciones Unidas para combatir y eliminar la trata de mujeres y ninas. En la cuarta parte figuran las conclusiones y recomendaciones para la adopcion de medidas futuras.
