in march 1994, the united nations human rights commission established the special rapporteur on violence against women, in 1999 the special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, and in 2004 the special rapporteur on trafficking in persons especially women and children. through country visits and fact-finding trips, these rapporteurs collect information on the violation of rights protected by the convention on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women (cedaw), the international convention on the protection of the rights of all migrant workers and members of their families (icrmw) and the protocol to prevent, supress and punish trafficking in persons, especially women and children. during their mandate, the rapporteurs issue annual and country reports where they develop their own perspectives, research and recommendations, playing a significant role in global, regional and even local politics. based on a selection of their reports, this paper analyzes the connections and issues that became visible in the intersections of gender, rights and migration.
