Abstract:
Croatia has a strategic location along European human trafficking routes. The country is a source and destination country for human trafficking but also a bridge across which victims are transferred from Southeastern Europe and the former Soviet states to the rest of Europe, particularly Italy, France, Switzerland and Spain. Croatian communities along the borders of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), Serbia, and Montenegro sit on the front lines of the fight against trafficking in humans. From September 30, 2004 to September 20, 2006 the STAR Network of World Learning implemented the Croatian Trafficking Prevention Activity (CTPA) through a $239,887 cooperative agreement with USAID Croatia. CTPA's strategy for reducing trafficking in Croatia focused on a) raising awareness of local communities on the risks of trafficking; and b) promoting increased knowledge of professionals that deal with trafficking issues. Because trafficking is a regional problem, CTPA took a regional approach by supporting local-levelawareness raising and networking particularly along Croatia's porous border with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
