Project "Improving Institutional Response to Human Trafficking"

From 04.-07.03. we organize two two-day trainings for representatives of competent institutions and civil society organizations, which aims to strengthen the capacity of all actors for more efficient and effective action according to the state referral mechanism.

The state referral mechanism is an institutionalized framework, through which competent actors fulfill their obligations to protect and respect the human rights of victims of human trafficking, by coordinating efforts with civil society. It is a process by which a potential victim of human trafficking is referred to specialized services and through which assistance is provided. The main goals of the referral mechanism are to ensure respect for the human rights of victims of human trafficking and an efficient way to provide the victim with access to available services.

The referral mechanism includes all competent institutions and authorized organizations active in the field of preventing human trafficking in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which act in accordance with the current legislative framework and prescribe procedures for dealing with potential and identified victims of human trafficking in relation to the detection and identification of the potential victim, interviewing the victim and case assessment, communication with competent institutions, determination of the type of accommodation and assistance, transport, accommodation and care in a shelter or other type of alternative accommodation, cooperation of institutions and organizations during accommodation, reintegration, rehabilitation, repatriation and resocialization.
This activity is implemented by the project "Improving the Institutional Response to Human Trafficking", which is supported by the US Government through the USAID/Inspire Human Rights Support Program. Program podrške zaštiti ljudskih prava USAID Inspire

Use the revision of the EU THB Directive to strengthen victims’ rights - La Strada International Statement on European Anti Trafficking Day

La Strada International welcomes the revision of the EU Anti-Trafficking Directive as an opportunity
to enhance the rights of trafficked persons in Europe. The Directive is an important instrument in
the prevention of human trafficking and protection of its victims. Ahead of the start of the trilogues
expected to be announced, it is critical that the negotiating institutions ensure that the Directive in no
way undermines the rights of trafficked persons and affected groups, but instead strengthens their
access to protection and justice.

Statement on the Occasion of the World Day against Trafficking in Persons

Ahead of World Day against Trafficking in Persons, 30 July, we express our concerns about the shrinking space for civil society, including in the anti-trafficking field. We call on states, EU institutions, international organisations, donors, and other stakeholders to defend and promote civic space to ensure that no victim of trafficking is left behind.

"Novi put" representative a panelist at the side event during the UN Human Rights Council

The Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery will present his thematic report on contemporary forms of slavery affecting persons belonging to ethnic, religious and linguistic minority communities (A/HRC/51/26) during the 51st session of the UN Human Rights Council. Abida Pehlic, from our Association “Novi put”, will be one of the panelist at the virtual side event during the UN Human Rights Council, co-organised by the UN Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, Minority Rights Group, the UN Voluntary Trust Fund on Contemporary Forms of Slavery and Anti-Slavery International.

The hour-long event will hear from the Special Rapporteur on his report on contemporary forms of slavery affecting persons belonging to ethnic, religious and linguistic minority communities, along with directly affected individuals and human rights defenders/anti-slavery activists.

The online event will be an opportunity to deepen the discussion about the many ways in which persons belonging to marginalized minorities may be subjugated to exploitative work, but also about ways to enhance their protection. First-hand experiences complemented with the findings of the Special Rapporteur’s thematic study will lead to the formulation of key recommendations.
