"Health rights and the Rights to access to Medical Service of
the Women Victims of Trafficking Human Beings (OSCE)"



Health rights and the Rights to access to Medical Service of
the Women Victims of Trafficking Human Beings (OSCE)


Project was directed to raise awareness on the phenomenon of human trafficking among the health care professionals thus contributing to better assistance and rehabilitation of the victims of trafficking.
Implement violence indicators for identification of the violence in practice, the awareness of the primary healthcare providers were raised through trainings (90 people wee trained), including the trainings of representatives of the victim identification mobile groups (12 people were trained) of the “State Fund for Protection and Assistance of Victims of Human Trafficking” (State Fund). The implementing partner contributed to the development of cooperation between our consultation office and law enforcement, judiciary, migration authorities, and other relevant state agencies and NGOs, by means of roundtable meetings.

Altogether around one hundred of medical personnel would develop their skills on screening, documentation and awareness, as well as specific methodology of treating the victims of trafficking.

The project activities included six one-day seminars in 6 hospitals for 90 medical staff in Tbilisi and a one-day seminar for 12 people from the State Fund for Protection and Assistance of Victims of Human Trafficking (mobile groups).

The project would encourage medical authorities to better understand the necessity of the policy development and provide subsidies for treatment and rehabilitation of the victims of trafficking.

This project was the first step in raising the awareness of the problem of human trafficking among healthcare providers. It strengthened partnership among hospitals, shelters, law enforcement, and NGOs working on this problem and brought long term results.
