Mission: contribute to the eradication of human trafficking for sexual and labor exploitation in Argentina
Our homework:
- Make human trafficking and smuggling visible
- Carry out different prevention activities such as campaigns, talks in schools, civil society organizations, unions, among others.
- Train teachers, security forces, members of the Judiciary, social organizations and officials linked to the issue, as well as anyone interested in working on prevention and assistance.
- Report and monitor complaints about possible cases of human trafficking or smuggling
- Assist victims of human trafficking and smuggling
- Monitor compliance with national law, provincial laws and municipal ordinances related to human trafficking and smuggling
- Influence and advise different governments for the execution of public policies on the subject.
The National Network to Stop Trafficking and Trafficking (RATT Argentina) is a collective of organizations and people who fight to eradicate human trafficking in Argentina. We began our task in 2006 concerned about the lack of visibility of the problem, the absence of internal legislation that classifies the crime as well as public policies for its prevention and protection of its victims. We began by visiting the provinces where there is the greatest recruitment of people for trafficking (NEA and NOA), currently we have representatives in 15 provinces, these representatives constitute nodes in their provinces, articulating actions with different municipalities, provincial governments and organizations of civil society with which mutual cooperation agreements are signed.
We have a central technical team made up of professionals from different disciplines, constituting the central node of the network whose task is to coordinate the different actions and strategies of the nodes at the national level, strengthen them with advice, training and visibility, facilitate internal communication and with the national government
