Le Phare des Affranchies

Published purpose

As part of this 34-month project, Le Phare des AffranchiEs will develop and implement an integrated system of key stakeholders on sex and labour trafficking for the Laurentian region as well as a training of trainers on the issue of labour trafficking, which will advance knowledge and improve support to empower survivors of human trafficking and enhance the current continuum of services. This goal will be achieved by mobilizing survivors of human trafficking as well as various partners from the private, community and institutional sectors (e.g. police and youth protection). This partnership approach will lead to the development of training content for trainers on labour trafficking and help increase the knowledge of key stakeholders on the issue of trafficking as a whole. The project will be sustained through the coordination of regional tables on trafficking issues that will ensure the relationships between the participating organizations and will promote the institutionalization of the contents developed, both in terms of their effective appropriation in the organizations and with the key people involved. By the end of the project, the organization will have developed and implemented promising prevention and intervention practices to increase knowledge about sex and labour trafficking, and empower at-risk populations and survivors, with a view to make systemic changes in the Laurentian region and beyond, in order to fill the gaps in prevention or support offered to the targeted populations. The project will include an external evaluation.
