Anti-Trafficking [through Afghan Women Skills Development Center ]

G/TIP funded the Afghan Women Skills Development Center (AWSDC) to address trafficking of women and girls through awareness raising and action-oriented research throughout 14 districts in the Faryab province.

The project supported the formation of 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.

The grant also funded research to support public legislators in their efforts to advocate for additional measures against internal trafficking and improve existing anti-trafficking legislation. Faryab, traditionally, has been an underserved province in the area of TIP. AWSDC is a local Afghan NGO, which benefits from G/TIP support.
