CAT/C/SWE/CO/6-7 reported, but the Attorney General initiated proceedings against barely 6 of them (arts. 12, 13 and 16). The Committee recalls its position that the special protection of minorities, or marginalized individuals or groups especially at risk, is part of the obligation of the State party to prevent torture or ill-treatment (see general comment No. 2, para. 21). In that respect, the State party should intensify its efforts to prevent and prosecute criminal acts motivated by discrimination, intolerance, hatred or negative stereotype by: (a) Ensuring effective investigation, prosecution and punishment of perpetrators; (b) Collecting detailed information and statistics on the number and type of hate crimes, on the administrative and judicial measures taken to investigate and prosecute such crimes and on the sentences imposed; (c) Increasing awareness-raising and information campaigns to promote tolerance and respect for diversity, as well as measures fostering a sense of security for communities at risk. Gender-based violence 16. While welcoming the adoption by Sweden of a broader legal definition of rape and an increase in the minimum penalty for gross sexual abuse of a child, the Committee remains concerned at the increasingly high incidence of violence against women compared to the low number of complaints, investigations, prosecutions and convictions in rape cases (arts. 2, 4, 12, 13 and 16). The State party should intensify its efforts to combat all forms of violence against women, including domestic violence and rape, in particular by: (a) Setting up a gender-sensitive system to receive and deal with such complaints; (b) Punishing perpetrators with appropriate penalties and providing adequate protection and assistance to the victims; (c) Conducting awareness-raising campaigns for the public at large and, in particular, providing training on domestic violence issues for law enforcement personnel, judges, lawyers and social workers who interact with the alleged and actual victims, in order to prevent and prosecute gender-based violence. Trafficking in persons 17. The Committee commends the significant efforts made by the State party to combat trafficking in persons and to assist victims of trafficking, including the adoption of a National Action Plan on human trafficking in July 2008 and of an Action Plan for the protection of children against human trafficking, exploitation and sexual assaults in February 2014. However, the Committee remains concerned at: (arts. 2, 12, 13, 14 and 16) (a) Reports of the increasing number of victims of trafficking for the purpose of various forms of exploitation, such as labour exploitation, forced begging and forced criminality involving children; (b) The very limited number of cases filed, prosecutions and convictions of perpetrators of trafficking, as well as at the lack of protection and remedy provided to victims. 6
