Goals:

Create and test new and effective model of social assistance which would help successfully integrate and reintegrate the victims of trafficking into labour society.

Innovation:

Solving the problem of integration of target group into labour society, DP is notable for its composition. It consists of public organization (Missing Persons’ Families Support Centre), which works with the target group, religious community – Vilnius archdiocese Caritas, budgetary institution – Lithuanian AIDS Centre and representative of business – employers’ segment – joint stock company Ltd. ’’Gaumina’’. Solving the problems of target group this cooperation model has not been established yet in Lithuania, therefore it is expected this project will achieve its planned results. Moreover, this cooperation will become a pilot model for the future system uniting operating structures in Lithuania which solve the problems of victims of trafficking.
The novelty with respect to activities will manifest itself in modern principles of work and thoroughness of assistance, i.e. the representatives of target group can have a vast variety of problems which start from the unfavourable social conditions in childhood and end with the negative experience of social relations. However, they will get complete support, which cover all types of assistance, even potential employment. After all, IT technologies will be used to solve the problems of target group and to develop the project, in order to create:

• informative internet portal which will include all information about the project and target group;
• virtual job database;
• E-training tool.

The novelty of the activities will manifest itself in sociological researches on target group. The themes of the research will be chosen so that they identify and define the problems of the target group the best. In this way actions of DP will be reasonably purposeful and effective.
One may examine the novelty of the project in three ways:

a) first time a network of six countries with partners from Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Portugal, Italy and Germany will be established. It is aimed at improving integration of the target group into labour society and the exchange of the experience between partners.

Activities:

Search of the target group, test of models for assistance, meaningful entertainment of leisure time, training, foreign experience, researches, and pilot model for the employers as well, spread of information and its influence on national policy.

Planned results:

Enhanced motivation and skills of victims of trafficking necessary for labour market; prepared recommendations concerning cooperation with the foreign countries and use of good practices in Lithuania; prepared recommendations with the proposal to increase employment of victims of trafficking; prepared and implemented pilot model of the project with the employers; organized the campaign of proclamation of information; conducted survey on public opinion about the victims of trafficking; created and implemented models of assistance for the target group, of meaningful entertainment of leisure time, of training, of researches and of foreign experience;

Every year at least 15 victims of trafficking are integrated in a labour society.

1. Organizations that work with the target group unite for permanent partnership- an umbrella structure of assistance is established- which seeks to struggle against the occurring intolerance of employers and indifference of the victims themselves.
2. Representatives of the target group get more information about provided assistance to them and more often appeal to the institutions that provide needed assistance.
3. The employers’ intolerance for victims of trafficking is decreasing.
