E/C.12/SVN/CO/1 page 5 33. The Committee calls on the State party to take effective measures to combat trafficking in persons, particularly trafficking in women and children, including by ensuring that those responsible for such trafficking are prosecuted. The Committee recommends that the State party should set up services to help the victims of trafficking and take steps to make law-enforcers and the general public more aware of the seriousness of the problem and to sensitize them of the needs of the victims. The Committee also recommends that the State party facilitate the participation of non-governmental organizations in the working group dealing with this issue. In addition, the Committee recommends that the State party should ratify the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (No. 197). It also requests the State party to report to it, in its next periodic report, on progress in this regard. 34. The Committee encourages the State party to consider adopting specific legislation rendering domestic violence a criminal offence, and also offering to judges training, as presently provided for police officers, to raise awareness of the criminal nature of domestic violence. 35. The Committee recommends that the State party extend the network of integrated health and social care services, including home help, for older persons with physical and mental disabilities. The Committee requests the State party to provide in its next periodic report, detailed information on the implementation of the overall strategy for older persons which is presently under consideration. 36. The Committee requests the State party to ensure that these concluding observations are widely disseminated throughout society, particularly among government officials and the judicial authorities, and to report to it, in its next periodic report, on all measures taken to implement the recommendations contained in these concluding observations. It also encourages the State party to involve non-governmental organizations and other members of civil society in the discussions at the national level before submitting its next periodic report. 37.
