Description:
Project Description:
Human trafficking is a global crime that involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of exploitation. A modern form of slavery, trafficking in persons constitutes a violation of human rights in which victims are deprived of their humanity and basic freedom. This Leader Award is part of a long-term and comprehensive effort by the U.S. Government towards ending human trafficking in Asia by 2030.
The Asia Counter Trafficking in Persons (Asia CTIP) Leader with Associates Award will build upon past and current USAID-supported Counter Trafficking In Persons (CTIP) activities throughout Asia. The Leader Award is an Asia regional activity that focuses on transnational and regional challenges to combat human trafficking. The Leader Award advances regional coordination in Asia and strategically supports USAID CTIP programs throughout the region by strengthening USAID’s understanding of human trafficking, CTIP interventions, and their collective interaction in the region; reinforcing the CTIP evidence base, including improving the quality and usage of empirical data associated with human trafficking; facilitating practical cross-border cooperation between source, transit and destination countries; and developing opportunities for increased leadership by the private sector, among other stakeholders. The objectives may include: 1) reduce the risk of human trafficking, with a focus on vulnerable populations; 2) increase access to support for trafficked persons; 3) improve access to justice and remedies for trafficked persons; 4) strengthen learning around trafficking in persons and interventions; 5) improve coordination and cooperation between source, transit and destination countries; 6) leverage private sector engagement to reduce trafficking in persons in target sectors.
