Enhancing judicial and frontline capabilities to combat child trafficking
SafeBorders aims to combat child trafficking by enhancing the capabilities of judicial authorities and frontline workers through a comprehensive approach.
Specifically, the project will focus on strengthening the expertise of judicial authorities by facilitating knowledge exchange, identifying best practices, and conducting capacity-building activities. In addition, leveraging technology in the digital era, the project will introduce an AI-platform to support cross-border cooperation among judicial authorities.
This collaborative effort aims to streamline efforts, enhance information sharing, and facilitate joint actions to combat child trafficking effectively. By strengthening the capabilities of both judicial authorities and frontline workers and promoting cross-border cooperation, the project seeks to address the complexities of child trafficking and protect vulnerable children from exploitation and abuse.
