We are preventing human trafficking. We are offering counseling and social integration for victims of human trafficking and fighting the phenomenon by prevention and training for authorities.
The project “An informed person is a protected person – prevention against human trafficking through labor exploitation” is implemented in partnership with Platform EURES Romania and Diakonie Wurttemberg Germany.
The project organizes seminars – round tables with representatives of SENSE network, representatives of churches, government representatives (National Agency against Human Trafficking, Ministry of Labour, EURES platform) and unions, on preventing trafficking through labor exploitation. During the meetings, information are shared on gender migration risks, vulnerable groups of people being trafficked, forced labor, social inclusion for victims of trafficking and prevention campaigns on THB phenomenon.
The project also offers individual and group counseling for vulnerable persons and / or trafficked persons. The counseling sessions are held at Bucharest and Timisoara with qualified and experienced personnel in the field of human trafficking. We also organizes support groups for victims of trafficking to overcome the suffered traumas.
As well as prevention campaigns are organized with vulnerable groups as rural area pupils. The prevention sessions are conducted in a fun and attractive way, using video presentation, statistics, games and contests.
An important aspect of the project is the group of third country nationals in Bucharest and Timisoara, AIDRom Office has experience in their integration in Romania, among which there was identified a high level of migration towards EU for work. These migrant foreign citizens need advice for preventing the traffic situations, in particular through labor exploitation.
