Results in the areas of victim protection, and trafficking prevention were also limited.

Great improvements are needed in the areas of law enforcement and victim protection.

Despite the government's increased efforts, victim protection remained inadequate during the reporting period.

The government made some efforts to improve victim protection.

The national center enhanced victim protection available to foreign victims of trafficking.

The government provided some resources toward victim protection and local anti-trafficking groups.

In my view, victim protection is especially important.

Thirdly, victim protection is more than just a humanitarian task.

I would therefore suggest that we avoid any delays and make a specific commitment to this particular type of victim protection.

The government improved its funding for victim protection, and continued to undertake proactive prevention campaigns in 2008.
