Prevention, Protection and Integration of the Human Trafficking Victims in Serbia
The Public Policy Research Centre, in cooperation with the government Center for the Human Trafficking Victims Protection, conducts the research on the human trafficking victims in three municipalities in Serbia – Sremska Mitrovica, Pirot, Smederevo - as their numbers have been increasing in these communities, while the victims have been facing the rejection of local population and severe security risks.
This research is a part of the project aiming to propose a model for the quality social care of the human trafficking victims in Serbia. The project further includes the analysis of the legislative framework in Serbia, review of a good practice from the region, EU and other countries, analysis of the local communities’ resources to respond to the problem, as well as the qualitative research of stakeholders, and the quantitative research focusing on the employees of the Centers for social care, and on general population in these communities. The project will also result in a guidebook for professionals in the Centers for social care that will describe steps in evaluating the local community’s capacities to prevent, identify and protect the human trafficking victims.
Presented activities are implemented within the project “Prevention, Protection and Integration of the Human Trafficking Victims through the Development of Local Policies – Empowering Coordination Function of the Centers for Social Care at the Local Level”, supported by the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Social Policy. The project is carried out by the Public Policy Research Centre, in collaboration with the Center for the Human Trafficking Victims Protection.
