CHISINAU 23 September 2004
CHISINAU, 23 September 2004 - The second workshop in a series of training courses on assisting trafficking victims after their traumatic experience started today in Molovata Noua, near the Moldovan capital. The courses are financed by the OSCE Mission to Moldova and implemented by its partner, the non-governmental organization (NGO) La Strada.
The goal of the workshop is to develop guidelines for best practices in assisting victims of human trafficking. A guide being drafted at this workshop will be later distributed to all participants and other experts in this field.
"These workshops also help to develop a network of professionals actively engaged in assisting survivors to regain control over their lives, to find new job opportunities and to earn a living for themselves and their loved ones," Liliana Sorrentino, the Mission's anti-trafficking officer said.
About 20 social workers and psychologists from civil society and the state sector are taking part in the two-day course. Experts from leading NGOs working on combating human trafficking in Moldova as well as from the International Organization for Migration will share their experiences in assisting victims and in finding solutions for the problems identified.
The workshop is part of the OSCE Mission's Strengthening Protection and Assistance to Victims of Trafficking, Adults and Minors project. This two-year project is based on a human rights approach and aims to strengthen capacities and infrastructures for identification, protection of and assistance to trafficking victims
