Summary
Objective: The objective of the project was to make a comprehensive contribution to counter-trafficking in human beings efforts by reducing the incidence of trafficking in human beings from Brazil to EU Member States, particularly Portugal and Italy, in the medium to long term. In particular, the project sought to contribute to the prevention of transnational trafficking in human beings on Brazilian territory, to build up the capacities of the Brazilian Federal Police and the Brazilian consular staff in Portugal and Italy to understand THB as a complex crime, and to strengthen the international co-operation between Brazil and the EU countries of destination.
ICMPD worked in close co-operation with the Brazilian National Secretary of Justice and the Brazilian Federal Police. The project ran for a total of 25 months.
