person who is a victim of trafficking or a person having control or authority over a minor who is a victim of trafficking, has consented to the act which was intended to constitute trafficking. Furthermore, any person who knowingly (a) leases a room, house, building or establishment or subleases or allows it to be used, for the purpose of harbouring a victim of trafficking; or (b) advertises, publishes, prints, broadcasts, distributes, or causes the advertisement, publication, broadcast or distribution of, information which suggests or alludes to trafficking by any means, including the use of the internet or other information technology, shall commit an offence. 39. The National Action Plan Against Trafficking in Persons 2019-2024 is being finalized. A National Steering Committee has been set up to enable a better coordinated approach and concerted response with all the relevant stakeholders to detect, track, and prevent TIP related offences. A regional Trafficking in Persons Data Collection System, designed and administered by the UNODC and SADC Secretariat is being implemented since 2018. 40. In terms of victim support, there are Government funded NGO shelters and victim drop-in centre. A residential drop-in centre is operational since May 2016, to cater for the rehabilitative needs of children victims of sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation including child trafficking. The Government has in May 2019 set up a Shelter for adult victims of Human Trafficking with the appropriate amenities, facilities and support the victims. 41. The first conviction case of TIP under the Combating of Trafficking in Persons Act occurred in 2018. It is to be noted that the Courts Act provides for camera testimonies under specific circumstances. 42. The Child Protection Act prohibits all forms of Child Trafficking and prescribes up to 15 years’ imprisonment for Child Trafficking Offences. The Ministry of Tourism had produced a brochure on ‘Zero Tolerance’ in 2010 which were distributed to all tourist establishments and enterprises to sensitize operators on child sex trafficking, about the consequences of sexual exploitation of children. Moreover, during police security campaigns, conducted at regional level, pamphlets were distributed to the public and at the airport. Mauritius enjoys a very good reputation as a high end tourist destination and as such child sex tourism is not identified as a problem in the country. As per Guidelines of the Tourism Authority for Pub, Private Club and Night Club, minors are not authorized to access these premises. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT 43. Corporal punishment is prohibited in schools by virtue of Regulation 13 (4) of the Education Regulations 1957. Furthermore, section 13 (1) of the Child Protection Act and sections 230(3)(a) and 260(3) of the Criminal Code further makes it an offence to ill-treat or assault a child. The forthcoming Children’s Bill is considering the prohibition of Corporal Punishment in all settings. 65
