CAT/C/MOZ/CO/1 (b) Provide victims with legal, medical, psychological and rehabilitative services and compensation, and create the conditions for them to report complaints without fear of reprisal; and (c) Provide judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and traditional authorities with training on the strict application of the relevant legislation criminalizing harmful traditional practices and other forms of violence against women and children. In general, the State party should ensure that its customary law and practices are compatible with its human rights obligations, particularly those under the Convention. In its next periodic report, the State party should provide information on the hierarchy between traditional practices and codified law, especially with regard to forms of discrimination against women and children. Human trafficking 26. The Committee takes note of the efforts made by the State party to prevent and combat human trafficking. However, it is concerned at reports of internal and cross-border human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labour, as well as at the information provided by the delegation on trafficking in organs. The Committee is also concerned at the lack of statistics in the State party’s report on, inter alia, the number of prosecutions, convictions and sentences of perpetrators of trafficking (arts. 2, 12 and 16). The State party should: (a) Intensify its efforts to prevent and combat trafficking in human beings, including by implementing the 2008 anti-trafficking legislation (see para. 5 (b) of the present concluding observations) and providing protection for victims, including shelters and psychosocial assistance; (b) Conduct prompt, impartial investigations into cases of human trafficking, ensure that those found guilty of such crimes are punished with penalties appropriate to the nature of their crimes, and guarantee that all victims of such acts obtain redress; and (c) Conduct nationwide awareness-raising campaigns and provide specialized training on victim identification and investigation for labour inspectors and law enforcement officials, including the Women and Child Victim Assistance Units established by the National Police. Corporal punishment 27. While recognizing that corporal punishment has been abolished as a penalty for crime and that it is prohibited in penal institutions, the Committee is concerned that it is not explicitly prohibited in the home, schools and all care settings (art. 16). The Committee recommends that the State party prohibit the corporal punishment of children in all settings, conduct public awareness-raising campaigns about its harmful effects, and promote positive non-violent forms of discipline as an alternative to corporal punishment. Data collection 28. The Committee regrets the absence of comprehensive and disaggregated data on complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in cases of torture and ill-treatment perpetrated by law enforcement and prison personnel, as well as on deaths in custody, extrajudicial executions, gender-based violence, trafficking, lynching and criminal conduct related to harmful traditional practices. 9
