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.
