Protection and Empowerment of Women and Children
We focus on the prevention, protection, and rehabilitation of trafficking victims from communities along the Mekong River, through the operation of 1) a Shelter to protect, build skills and reintegrate survivors of trafficking into Lao society, 2) a youth-led education effort to prepare people about the dangers of trafficking, and 3) a legal advocacy initiative to strengthen the legal system, empower local officials and police, and engage local people in the fight to protect their rights.
