Grant Description

This project seeks provide better sheltering and protection for TIP victims, as well as increase the efficacy of government-run hotlines for reporting TIP cases.

To support the first activity, NGOs currently providing crisis services and shelter to family violence victims will be assessed and assisted in expanding to also serve TIP victims.

The hotlines will then be linked to those NGOs, to ensure that information is relayed to the callers about safety issues, services available to TIP victims, and case referrals.
