3. WelcomDeplores the additions made by the Recast Reception Conditions Directive, namely the inclusion of victims of human trafficking and FGM as separate categories of vulnerable persons; expresses its deep concern that only 12 Member States have applied vulnerable person status to victims of human trafficking; points out that any new establishment of a right to remain for victims of ill treatment and their families will inevitably be exploited by traffickers as it will be a guarantee of successful migration; points out that any new measure of this kind will therefore be counter-productive and put women in danger, as the traffickers will not hesitate to mutilate or assault them to ensure they are given preferential treatment;
