La Strada International
 Netherlands  |  Human Rights

To influence the authorities, the media and public opinion to address trafficking as a severe human rights violation.

La Strada develops and offers protection and prevention activities for trafficked persons, people vulnerable to trafficking and other affected groups. Capacity building constitutes a central element of the La Strada programme and is crucial. Because of their independent status, organisations at the grassroots level can win the confidence of women who consider migration to the West and provide them with reliable information on the risks involved and how to protect themselves against those risks. Trafficking reflects the poor social and legal position of women in many countries. It encourages deceit, abuse, violence, bonded labour, blackmail and deprivation of human rights. Trafficking currently flourishes in sex work, the agricultural, building and garment industries as well as the domestic labour and commercial marriage market.
