Grant Description

Coalition Against Trafficking in Women-Latin America and the Caribbean (CATW-LAC) will work to prevent or reverse the legalization of prostitution in Argentina, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Peru in the first year of the project and Chile, Colombia and Ecuador in the second year of the project, with the aim of combating sex trafficking.

The project will also implement activities designed to serve as a model to combat the demand for prostitution among young men, including implementation of awareness-raising campaigns about the consequences of the demand for prostitution in each country.

CATW-LAC will also conduct training sessions on advocacy against prostitution legalization for national coalitions in each country; provide model implementation activities, materials for instruction and distribution, and on-going assistance for each coalition's efforts.
