The three institutions recently signed an agreement defining their areas of responsibility.Women and girls who have been forced into prostitution in Albania or repatriated from other countries will be able to stay at the centre for periods ranging from one week to three months. Its two buildings will have the capacity to house up to 100 people. While offering care and services, the centre will also work to reunite trafficking victims with their families or return them to their countries of origin. Also envisioned are public campaigns to raise awareness of the problem of human trafficking. IOM's Albania branch recently organized a media campaign, including a song and video clip, to make people conscious of the risks and suffering. IOM also provides assistance to victims. |
