PROCAP – PROtection of victims of trafficking, CAPacity building and support to key stakeholders

Greece is one of the main entry points for asylum seekers and refugees in Europe. Populations affected by displacement and people fleeing persecution are among those most at risk of being trafficked. SolidarityNow is partnering KMOP (Centre of Care for Families and Children) and the National Centre for Social Solidarity, Greece (ΕΚΚΑ) to strengthen the protective environment, while empowering victims of human trafficking to claim their rights and fulfil their potential. More specifically, the PROCAP project aims to:

• Improve the early identification of victims of trafficking who are third country nationals at entry points (reception and identification centres, airports, ports, etc.) who will consequently be referred to specialised service providers.
• Provide quality psychosocial support services to victims of trafficking in human beings and their children, with attention to the best interests of the child.
• Empower victims to claim their rights, seek support and identify viable solutions in safety and dignity.
• Support access to justice for victims of trafficking.
• Equip with training/ information/ awareness raising of frontline professionals in areas such as hospitality, airports, public transport, labour inspection, school communities, reception and identification services, play an active role as a support mechanism for (early) identification.

SolidarityNow, through mobile units in Attica and Central Macedonia (incl. wider regions), will provide psychosocial support, legal assistance and representation, translation and interpretation, accompaniment, integration and anti-trafficking activities to victims (or potential victims) of human trafficking.

* The project “PROCAP / PROtection of victims of trafficking, CAPacity building and support to key stakeholders” is co-funded by the European Union under the Programme Greece – Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) 2021-2027, as a Specific Action on the Provision of services to victims of trafficking in human beings who are third country nationals with OPS code: 6002554.
