UNDERSTANDING AND COUNTERACTING TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS — ONLINE TRAINING COURSE FOR HELPERS FOR ORDER OF MALTA MEMBERS AND AUXILIARIES

 

The Ambas­sador of the Order of Mal­ta  to mon­i­tor and com­bat traf­fick­ing in per­sons, with the help of a Swiss foun­da­tion, the “Col­lège uni­ver­si­taire Henry-Dunant”, is work­ing on an online course against human traf­fick­ing for helpers, which is avail­able freely. Please feel free to par­tic­i­pate in this course!
The online course Under­stand­ing And Coun­ter­act­ing Traf­fick­ing In Per­sons – A Train­ing Course For Helpers is built to meet the expec­ta­tions of an audi­ence at dif­fer­ent lev­els:

  • peo­ple who are active and respon­si­ble for projects in the field of human trafficking,
  • experts look­ing for a gen­uine ref­er­ence library on traf­fick­ing, leg­is­la­tion and action plans by coun­try, guides and research on traf­fick­ing in human beings from the most impor­tant legal and oper­a­tional actors,
  • all who wish to under­stand the issue of human traf­fick­ing.

This course strives to offer pro­fes­sion­al and prac­ti­cal tools for coun­ter­act­ing traf­fick­ing and sup­port­ing vic­tims. It does so by pro­mot­ing three fields of action:

  1. Pre­ven­tion of con­di­tions (pover­ty, inequal­i­ty, famil­ial abuse) favor­ing trafficking;
  2. Assis­tance to vic­tims and sur­vivors, sup­port­ing their phys­i­cal and psy­cho­log­i­cal reha­bil­i­ta­tion and assist­ing their social reintegration;
  3. Coor­di­na­tion of activ­i­ties with already exist­ing sup­port networks.

 

Navi­gate freely through the course and quick­ly reach the top­ic you are inter­est­ed in.

Access the best prac­tices: the course can be used as a library to find doc­u­ments, exam­ples, etc.

It is free of charge in order to make it available to a wide audi­ence.
