Main Projects / Activities

Establishing Country-Based Mechanisms for Assisting Victims of Traffic in human beings and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Victim assistance vs. Survivor assistance
We re-affirm our goal of achieving full implementation of these principles as a matter of urgency and commit to:
1. Develop organization-specific strategies to prevent and respond to traffic in human beings and sexual exploitation and abuse.  These would include time-bound, measurable indicators of progress to enable our organizations and others to monitor our performance.
2. Incorporate our standards on traffic in human beings and sexual exploitation and abuse in induction materials and training courses for our personnel.
3. Prevent perpetrators of traffic in human beings and sexual exploitation and abuse from being (re-)hired or (re-)deployed.  This could include use of background and criminal reference checks.
4. Ensure that complaint mechanisms for reporting traffic in human beings and sexual exploitation and abuse are accessible and that focal points for receiving complaints understand how to discharge their duties.   
5. Take appropriate action to the best of our abilities to protect persons from retaliation where allegations of traffic in human beings and sexual exploitation and abuse are reported.
