Prevention of Trafficking in Women in the Baltic States II: Police Officials + Social Workers |
|
Summary
This project was a follow-up to the IOM projects "Research, Information and Legislation on Trafficking in Women in the Baltic States" (2000-2001) and "Prevention of Trafficking in Women in the Baltic States: Information Campaign" (2001-2002) and "Assistance to Victims of Trafficking in Women in the Baltic States" (June 2002-June 2003). It contributed to international efforts to counter trafficking of women, chiefly through the increased capacity of law enforcement institutions / officials and social workers to deal with real and potential trafficking victims; and through sensitising media on the issues of trafficking in women. This was achieved by introducing special training programmes for:
1) Police officials, including those in the field;
2) Social workers (municipalities, shelters, NGOs, etc)
