Baku. Victoria Dementieva-APA. IOM has launched a two-year programme to prevent human trafficking in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. The one million Swiss franc programme funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation aims to raise awareness of the dangers of human trafficking among young people.
As part of the programme, comprehensive outreach activities will be organized in secondary schools in cooperation with the Ministries of Education in all three countries. These include the production of a culture-sensitive educational kit on trafficking that will be integrated into the national curricula of secondary schools.
"We are targeting the 15 to 17 age group as they are more prone to migrate in search of work abroad once they’ve finished school," says Vassiliy Yuzhanin, IOM’s Chief of Mission in Azerbaijan. "Unresolved conflicts and high unemployment in the region lead to large numbers of young people migrating. Most of them are unaware of the pitfalls of irregular migration and trafficking."
