Anti-Trafficking in Persons Project [through Afghan Women Skills Development Center]

The goal of this proposed project is to forge partnerships against sexual abuse of women and girls through human trade and trafficking through awareness and facilitate linkages between communities and law enforcing agencies.

The Afghan Women Skills Development Center (AWSDC) will address trafficking of women and girls through awareness raising and action research activities throughout 14 districts in the Faryab province.

AWSDC will form District Advocacy Groups (DAG) comprised of attorneys, government officials, NGOs, and IOs in an effort to strengthen relationships among relevant stakeholders on the issue of TIP, as well as raise awareness of trafficking at the district level.

AWSDC will also conduct research to support public legislators in their advocacy efforts related to advocate for additional measures against internal trafficking and improve existing anti-trafficking legislation.
