Project NETHERLANDS – TACT

The TACT Project (Together Against Child Trafficking aims to improve the level of safety against gender-based violence (GBV) among children, including sexual exploitation and trafficking in persons (TIP). This objective is achieved through preventive measures and capacity building of professionals working with children, using an overall system strengthening approach that will make our interventions sustainable and scalable to the extent possible. Our project covers actions to prevent GBV, including online sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), as well as trafficking in persons in order to reduce the risks and to early identify the potential cases. Young Romanians are empowered through our trainings of trainers on GBV/THB knowledge transfer in order to become Ambassadors for Freedom in their communities.

To achieve this goal, the ECLER, with support of international, national and local partners, will implement interventions for a systemic change that will ultimately benefit child victims of GBV/TIP and those at risk. This intervention is especially critical, given the international and national data that shows that Romanian children are at high risk of GBV and TIP, mainly because of lack of adequate awareness measures and proper information.

The main activities implemented under the project’s framework are:
