CAT/C/SVK/CO/2 14. Corporal punishment 18. The Committee is concerned that prohibition of corporal punishment is not explicitly stipulated in the act on the family, and that corporal punishment is widely accepted in society (art. 16). The State party should explicitly prohibit corporal punishment in the family. It should also ensure that legislation prohibiting corporal punishment is strictly enforced and that awareness-raising and educational campaigns are conducted to that effect. 15. Trafficking in persons 19. The Committee is concerned about reports of cross-border trafficking in women for sexual and other exploitative purposes, and of Roma children trafficked abroad, especially for forced begging. The Committee is also concerned by internal trafficking of Roma women and children. The Committee regrets the lack of statistics on these issues, the low number of prosecutions and the frequent use of suspended sentences for perpetrators. The Committee is further concerned that reintegration and rehabilitation services are insufficient for victims of trafficking (art. 16). The State party should: (a) Investigate promptly and impartially all allegations of human trafficking, especially of women and children, prosecute the alleged perpetrators and punish those found guilty with appropriate penalties; (b) victims; Intensify its efforts to provide reintegration and rehabilitation services to (c) Conduct nationwide awareness-raising campaigns and conduct training for law enforcement officials, migration officials and border police on the causes, consequences and incidence of human trafficking. 16. Psychiatric facilities 20. The Committee is concerned about the ill-treatment of psychiatric patients, including the use of net-beds, as well as at the lack of independent monitoring of such places of deprivation of liberty (arts. 11 and 16). The State party should improve the living conditions for patients in psychiatric institutions and ensure that all places where mental-health patients are held for involuntary treatment are regularly visited by independent monitoring bodies to guarantee the proper implementation of the safeguards laid down to secure their rights, and that alternative forms of treatment are developed. 17. Data collection 21. The Committee requests the State party to provide in its next periodic report detailed statistical data, disaggregated by crime, sentence, ethnicity, age and sex, on the number of persons deprived of liberty; on the complaints relating to torture and ill-treatment allegedly committed by law enforcement officials; on the related investigations, prosecutions and penal or disciplinary sanctions; and on pretrial detainees and convicted prisoners. The Committee also requests information on the compensation and rehabilitation provided to victims. 22. The Committee encourages the State party to ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture. 6 GE.09-46819
