Let's fight with TRAFFIC!
Start date: Mar 7, 2016, End date: Aug 6, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

"Let's fight with TRAFFIC!" brought together 20 youth workers from five countries to make "common ground" against human trafficking. The project was coordinated by the Romanian Red Cross - Suceava Branch and had four NGOs, from European countries, as partners. Human trafficking through its forms, sexual exploitation, forced labour, begging, etc., is a phenomenon encountered in poor countries as a recruiting place, as well as in developed countries as a place of sale and exploitation. Croatia, Bulgaria, Italy and Spain, countries that are partners of the project, have a higher incidence of human trafficking, over 1000 victims annually. This number represents only the cases that have come to the authorities’ attention. This project had as a main activity the training course of 20 youth workers which was held during seven days in Gura Humorului area, Suceava County, Romania. The participants, youth workers, are actively involved in working with vulnerable young people in disadvantaged communities. During this training, the youth workers gained knowledge on the specific of human trafficking, its forms, the victim’s and trafficant’s profile. Much more, they developed a common action plan by creating an information campaign which will is conducted in the organizations where they come from. With the contibution of participants we developed a platform called Safe from Traffic (www.safefromtraffic.org) where young people from all around the world can find out more about human trafficking and using the integrated application they can test themselves to find out if they are in danger of being a victim. More than this, to make the platform accesible for those who don't speak english, we implemented romanian, italian, spanish, croatian and bulgarian versions. The activities during the training course were held using non-formal educational methods and were conducted by trainers that are members of Romanian Red Cross Branches. "Let's fight with TRAFFIC!" provided youth workers knowledge about human trafficking and developed skills in working with young vulnerable people.
