Objective:
The overall purpose of this project is to enhance the capacity of relevant Turkish anti-trafficking stakeholders and in particular the Directorate General of Migration Management (DGMM), to fight all forms of the crime of trafficking in persons (TIP) according to a four Ps approach: prevention, protection, prosecution and partnership.
Summary:
The strategic objective of the P-TIP project is to combat all forms of trafficking in persons, whether national or transnational. The project aims to prevent trafficking in persons and increase protection of potential and actual victims of trafficking. In addition, this project aims to support the development of partnerships among state agencies and non-governmental organizations to enhance a more comprehensive anti-TIP response, according to the 4Ps approach. It will also contribute substantially to raise the awareness on all forms of trafficking in persons in Turkey.
The project has two main components: Component 1 focuses on ‘Strengthening Institutional Framework and Targeted Capacity Building’. The expected results are to increase the capacities of the relevant anti-trafficking stakeholders in identification, referral, protection and prosecution of TIP victims as well as to further improve the institutional framework and multi-agency cooperation for a comprehensive anti-trafficking response in Turkey. Component 2 is on ‘Awareness Raising of all forms of TIP in Turkey’. The expected results include increasing the level of awareness with regards to all forms of trafficking among the targeted population and general public.
