Human trafficking is a phenomenon that exists all around the world and each year few thousand people are becoming its victims. As a result of accidental factors, including also the economic instability and the fall of the life standard, the criminal network finds ground for development of its illegal activities. The low level of public awareness and unknowing of the consequences and the effect of this phenomenon completes this scenario and increases the work of human trafficker in this region. That is a dark side of the globalization and we have to deal with it.

That is why we started the realization of this project in partnership with Women Safe House from Podgorica, Montenegro.
Our aim was informing young people for the complexity of this fast growing phenomenon, to act preventively and to protect them from the danger of lapsing in the huge chain of human trafficking. Also our aim was building of our capacities for this problem, as building of the capacities of the Social Workers and the NGO sector.
We started working on education for prevention from human trafficking with the Centers for Social Work, NGOs and high school youth and conducted informational campaign in the high schools for prevention of human trafficking.
With the activities of this project we have enabled education and capacity building for prevention of human trafficking of 40 NGO representatives and 20 social workers from Prilep, Bitola, Ohrid and Struga.
