When CCDH started raising awareness on the issue of human trafficking in Luxembourg, there was some disgruntlement.

Commission president Gilbert Pregno nevertheless noted that progress has been made and praised the efforts of the ministry of labour, the ITM, and the unions. It is envisioned that economic prosperity and respect for human rights can be balanced out.

CCDH also noted that racism remained in issue in Luxembourg. A good starting place for improvement would be individual responsibility and inclusive education in our schools.

A project related to youth protection is expected to be launched in the not too distant future, and set to prioritise the protection of children above everything else.

Pregno also welcomed news that Luxembourg would no longer conduct examinations of the reproduction organs of refugees arriving in the country.

Finally, the president made an appeal for more funding for the centre for equality.
