The phenomenon of Trafficking in Human Beings is highly interconnected with the migration roots.
Around 35 % of victims registered in the EU are non-EU nationals from, amongst others, Nigeria, China, Albania, Vietnam and Morocco. Traffickers are taking advantage of irregular migration routes, and increases have been reported in particular in the number of women and girls trafficked to the EU for the purpose of sexual exploitation from, amongst others: Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and Sierra Leone.
The European Asylum and Migration Integration Fund (AMIF) has opened a call for funding practical projects working at the protection and reintegration of third country nationals victims of Trafficking in Human Beings. Such projects must ensure that they take into consideration the gender specific nature of this phenomenon as well as the high-risk groups and sectors it affects.
Concretely, the objectives of this priority are to:
- Improving the integration of third country national victims of trafficking in the host society, taking into account the individual needs of the victims and in view of finding durable solutions and preventing re-trafficking;
- Facilitating the safe and sustainable, voluntary return of third country national victims of trafficking, with a view to finding durable solutions and preventing their re-trafficking;
- Ensure durable solutions for third country national child victims of trafficking and prevent re-trafficking.
Please, check out the full call for proposal (which will be open until the 31st of January 2019) on the Europa website and further disseminate it to your colleagues or partner organisations!
