These programs cover areas such as leadership development, advocacy, legal frameworks, trauma-informed care, and sustainable livelihood strategies.

Multi-Stakeholder Engagement: We recognize that eradicating human trafficking requires a collaborative effort across different sectors. Our training extends to frontline workers, government officials, private sector leaders, academic researchers, and CSO representatives. By fostering a unified approach, we aim to create a cohesive and effective response to human trafficking.
