It also provides for measures to better prevent this phenomenon and to strengthen the protection of victims. The European Parliament, at point 57 of the resolution, highlights the effectiveness of awareness-raising schemes in educating consumers to select products from corporations that ensure a slavery-free supply chain, but notes that this in itself is not enough to reduce demand for THB. |
