On the 1st of February high-level representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Mission to Georgia of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) announced the launch of the project “Solidifying Awareness on Trafficking in Persons in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia through Education”.

|
|
|
This is the third phase of a project funded by the SDC and implemented by IOM, aiming to intensify cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science and other government bodies, as well as with non-governmental partners, in securing the incorporation of lesson material on trafficking prevention and safe migration into the national education curriculum.
Ultimately, the project aims to facilitate uninhibited access for all teenagers in the three South Caucasus countries to objective information on trafficking in persons and what measures they can take to avoid the traps of traffickers and instead opt for safe migration channels.
This project responds to the action plans on the combat of trafficking in persons that all three countries have adopted and are currently implementing.
