Grant Description

IAWJ will strengthen the capacity of the Argentine Judiciary to combat trafficking in persons (TIP) by conducting trainings for judges and magistrates on TIP, particularly the new TIP law and its implementation.

The IAWJ will address jurisdiction concerns that have arisen over the new TIP law by drawing on existing court experiences to deepen understanding of TIP and building the capacity of its local partner, the Association of Women Judges of Argentina (AMJA), to provide judicial leadership on trafficking in persons cases.

This project will be supplemented with FY 2009 INCLE bilateral funds ($100,000) for anti-TIP projects in Argentina.
