Reduction of risk of trafficking of homeless women

The project reflected the absence of research in the field of illegal trafficking in homeless women. It was our assumption that homeless women are very a vulnerable group in this regard but we lacked evidence and specific data. Thus, the project was a major contribution in collecting data on this issue and taking steps toward a possible solution. The project’s output included completed research and the creation of a manual. Equally importantly, it also led to cooperation with organisations working with the homeless, as we worked together on the research and shared the results with them. Our aim was to raise awareness of illegal trafficking and improve the ability of organisations to identify the victims of this trafficking. In this respect, the final workshop for non-profit organisations was of great benefit, as were able to disseminate newly acquired information and discuss the possibilities of cooperation in particular cases. Cooperation with NGOs during the project was very good and we expect it to continue into the future. Although our organisation is primarily active in other areas, we share the same target client group –the homeless. The handbook for non-profit organisations working with homeless women, which provides information on illegal trafficking, promotesthe long-term sustainability of the project.
