A partnership among leading Baltic and Russian organisations in the anti-trafficking field has been set up to work towards reaching the recommendations set by the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons report (TIP) for each country. To improve prevention efforts a series of joint trainings has been designed for all partners to learn the best practices from each other to be implemented nationally.
The aim of the partnership is to identify efficient anti-trafficking measures specified by the National Action Plans and work on adopting best practices to extend victim identification efforts by help-line services, and improve prevention through nation-wide campaigns.
The circle of partners includes four organizations, each a leader in TIP field in their respective countries. Caritas Lithuania will introduce other partners to effective National Anti-trafficking action enforcement. The Estonian NGO Living for Tomorrow will share their decade-long experience in running hotline services. Red Cross branch in St.Petersburg is responsible for a training on work in high stress circumstances and high volumes of persons seeking advice in connection to trafficking. The leading partner – Shelter “Safe house” – will cover noticeable nation-wide prevention efforts.
