Strengthening Anti-Trafficking Networks in the Western Balkans

 

Project Description

 

This regional project is designed to tackle a set of serious regional problems associated with trafficking of women and young girls for the purpose of sexual exploitation in Western Europe and increasingly in the region itself.

The project will indirectly reach, through information campaigns, workshops, public tribunals an estimated number of 25.000 women in four target countries whose social and economic position will be improved in the long-term, through implementation of priority actions from the National Action Plans.

Geographically, the project focuses on border communities and on areas where young women are considered to be most vulnerable due to poverty indicators – NW and South BiH, Western Serbia, Montenegro coast, Croatia coast and eastern borders.
