Article 2 b (new)
Article 2 b (new)
Article 2b The following Article is inserted: 1. Member States shall provide adequate resources and specialised facilities for the actual and presumed victims of trafficking, including women, unaccompanied and separated minors, and to ensure safe places in shelters; Member States shall ensure the presence of gender-trained staff in reception facilities and to provide adequate support and funding to civil society organisations working with them. 2. Member States shall automatically provide an asylum for the victims of human trafficking; returns are problematic, as it may be difficult for returnees to enter the home community and in the worst case, victims may even be retrafficked or punished and discriminated against. 3. Member States shall take special cases into consideration; for example big sport events increase human trafficking and for this the Member States must take all measures of preventive action.
