DEFLECT Project

TF_THB header_logo

 

DEFLECT is a trans-national project that will enhance local capacity to counter trafficking in human beings for forced labour and collect comparable data in the 11 CBSS Member States. The data will then be used to encourage innovative thinking and policy making regarding data collection mechanisms and will produce guidelines to facilitate the collection of these data. It will directly communicate the research findings to actors in the field and equip them with tools to identify and assist victims and collect data. The project will be implemented in two phases.

The overall objective of DEFLECT is to prevent trafficking in human beings for forced labour, to identify, assist and protect victims and to provide a firm basis for policy development through improved data collection and training of key labour actors.
