OSCE Helps Georgia Develop Plan to Combat Trafficking

The OSCE is boosting Georgia’s fight against human trafficking by helping the government develop an Action Plan, which is set for completion at a conference, which is being held on November 11-12 in Tbilisi, reports a press release issued by the OSCE Mission to Georgia.

“By adopting and implementing a realistic plan against trafficking, Georgia will demonstrate its adherence to its international commitments in the field of human rights and democratization,” the Head of the OSCE Mission, Ambassador Roy Reeve said.

The conference will pull together the results of five working groups on prevention of trafficking, prosecution of perpetrators, illegal migration, victim protection and rehabilitation and international co-operation. In preparation for the draft, the Mission supported the working groups through its implementing partner, the Georgian NGO People’s Harmonious Development Society.
