Activities

In 2002 the United States Department of State funded Consortium to undertake a project that works to improve the Vientiane Center for Skill Development to provide direct assistance to victims of trafficking and youth who are vulnerable to traffickers. The Center also provides vocational training for at-risk youth and awareness campaigns in the target districts. The awareness messages are delivered in public venues such as school buildings and temples through the leadership and participation of local leaders in the community.

Started in FY 2002, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) funded anti-trafficking activities with funding of approximately $750,000. This program is assisting in the drafting of anti-trafficking legislation, raising community awareness, and providing vocational and leadership training for women, children, and youth groups in Vientiane Municipality and southern Laos.
