Why World Vision Myanmar is working on anti trafficking:

WVM is a child focused organization that aims to prevent children and youth from being exploitated. WVM does this by providing opportunities for both youth and children to stay in their home countries, and thus, reducing the risk of trafficking.

WVM’s projects to combat child trafficking:

World Vision Myanmar is a leading organization working on trafficking issues in Myanmar. World Vision has been working on the issue of trafficking since 2001 and has implemented a number of projects in Myanmar.

WVM's goal is to reduce the number of women and children trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation within and between the target countries. Supporting this goal are four primary objectives:

1. Collaboration and cooperation among government and non-government agencies working on trafficking issues.

2. Capacity building initiatives developed; suitable community-based groups identified, formed and trained; awareness raising activities in communities; situational analysis conducted annually; communication materials and educational materials developed and disseminated.

3. Return and reintegration support to trafficked survivors, assistance provided to trafficked victims involved in prosecution procedures and community members sensitised on the causes and consequences of trafficking.

4. Trafficking vulnerability factors and root causes of trafficking identified and actions to address those developed.

World Vision Myanmar (WVM) is implementing the following activities:

• Inter-agencies collaboration activities to share information and lessons learned for use by WVM and others in developing collaborative initiatives on combating trafficking
