BEST PRACTICES
The following initiatives take meaningful steps toward
establishing an effective strategy to reduce, control and combat the
trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation in the
Americas.
Prevention:
. Campaign Viajera (Dominican Republic):
The NGO
COIN has produced multiple information and awareness
materials for potential and actual female migrants. The
materials include: a booklet with NGO and consular
contacts in traditional destination countries and basic
legal protections; and a comic book of stories of
trafficked women, based on actual experiences.
. Police Warnings (Guasaule, Nicaragua):
Police stations at
the border in Guasaule inform young female migrants
traveling alone of the dangers of trafficking. Written
advisory materials (press reports) are distributed.
