Combating human trafficking

Activities include capacity building training for police and border-guards; awareness-raising events for youth and community leaders; the development of policies and practical manuals; and information campaigns to inform the population about trafficking in human beings. The Programme Office assists with the establishment and proper functioning of a National Referral Mechanism for trafficking victims and promotes inter-agency co-operation.
