HEAL – enHancing rEcovery and integrAtion through networking, empLoyment training and psychological support for women victims of trafficking
Helping third-country national women who survived trafficking to recover and find work, through psychological support, employment training and cooperation between support services.
The problem
Women trafficked for sexual exploitation are often cut off from the legal labour market and from the rights and support services they are entitled to, especially when they are third-country nationals. Countries in southern Europe report high levels of trafficking but often lack the instruments to counter it.
