OUTREACH WORK ON THE STREETS - SERVICES PROVIDED TO TRAFFICKED PERSONS. PRO SENTRET NGO OUTREACH MODEL, NORWAY
Abstract
The ability to provide a variety of services to trafficked persons is a key component of extracting the individuals from this environment. Organizations provide different services to victims and are able to provide these services based on their area of expertise. For example, some organizations are able to provide legal services, some counseling for trauma, medical and dental services, food and clothing . In addition, the aim of this article is to highlight the Pro Sentret NGO outreach model, Norway, which can be replicated in diverse communities and have a high impact in reaching trafficked persons. Members of the anti-trafficking community conduct direct, indirect or a combination of both forms of outreach. They often question whether it is more effective to train first responders, service providers or the public in how to identify and assist trafficked persons or whether it is best to target at-risk communities and suspected trafficked persons or whether focusing on both forms of outreach is best (Berbec, S., A., Bucur, A., Witec, S., Nimescu, I.,2015).
