Serbian Ministry of Education & the Center for Trafficking Victims Protection

We partnered with the Serbian Ministry of Education and the Center for Trafficking Victims Protection to develop a prevention education program that prevents and protects students from Human Trafficking. Together we developed the resources, trained educators, and implemented the program in public schools and child shelters across the country.

Serbian Ministry of Education & the Center for Trafficking Victims Protection

Following the adoption of the Regulation on the network of social protection ("Official Gazette" 16/2012 from March 7, 2012.), the Government of the Republic of Serbia has set up the Center for Human Trafficking Victims Protection in Belgrade, on April 13, 2012.

The Centre for Human Traficking Victims Protection was established as an institution of social protection and it conducts assessment of the situation, needs, strengths and risks of trafficking victims, does the job of identification and provides an adequate assistance and support to the victims of trafficking for the purpose of their rehabilitation and reintegration.

In that sense, the Center coordinates the activities of providing social services to the victims of human trafficking, cooperates with centers for social care, institutions for the accommodation of beneficiaries, other agencies, departments and organizations, with the aim of providing the best interests and safety of the victimsof trafficking.

In 2017, we partnered with the OSCE Macedonia and La Strada (North Macedonia) in order to have our prevention education program implemented in primary and secondary schools in Northern Macedonia.

It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence- and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, and decisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.
