Grant Description

Through this project the Department of Justice/Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (DOJ/OPDAT) plans to increase the number of successful prosecutions and convictions of persons engaged in human trafficking. DOJ/OPDAT will develop and implement training for prosecutors who handle TIP cases throughout the country.

These trainings will focus on relevant TIP statutes, advocacy skills, and resources available for both TIP victims and child victims of commercial sexual exploitation, including child pornography and sex tourism.

DOJ/OPDAT will also provide assistance and mentoring to selected prosecutors through personalized guidance and case-specific support and will facilitate enhanced voluntary prosecutor-police cooperation.
