The Protection Project


Mission

Establishing An International Framework For The Elimination Of Trafficking In Persons, Especially Women and Children.

The goal of the Protection Project is to research and document the global scope of the problem of trafficking in persons and, through the dissemination of relevant and timely information, to influence policy and practice in the war against trafficking. Our work includes:

  • Researching and documenting routes, cases, contributing causes and policy as well as social implications of trafficking and trafficking related issues including public health, immigration and law enforcement practices.
  • Analyzing international and domestic laws related to trafficking and the adequacy of comparative anti-trafficking legislations in addressing all aspects of trafficking.
  • Educating the public on the national, regional and international scope of the problem of trafficking through our Seminar Series, briefings and public awareness programs, and our web site: www.protectionproject.org
  • Advocating for the protection of the rights of victims of trafficking against all forms of exploitation.
  • Advising policymakers, legislative bodies, governmental agencies and international organizations on the status of domestic and international trafficking.
  • Developing model legislation to assist foreign countries in adopting effective legislative measures for the prevention, control and criminalization of trafficking.
  • Providing practical training for law and law enforcement personnel on law enforcement techniques and resource available to victims.
  • Collaborating with academic institutions, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations and advocacy groups in the development and implementation of resolutions to the problem of trafficking.
