Launch of Dignity Project
Sonas is part of the Daphne Dignity Project, which is an interagency initiative working to deliver quality services for victims of sex trafficking. The project is being launched on Tuesday, 16th June at 11am at the Women’s Health Project, 18 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin 4.
The Dignity project is an EU Daphne funded project of transnational partners which will study and document the good practice that is identifi ed in each partner country in services to victims of traffi cking. It will then look at how best to replicate such models at the local level. The aim of the Dignity Project is to work towards an integrated, holistic victim-centered approach, including provision of services to those vulnerable to exploitation (women in prostitution), as well as health services, counselling, accommodation, advocacy services, education and skills development for victims. Victim witness support and protection will also be examined, as well as victim integration and processes of safe returns to country of origin of victims.
Study series
In 2009-2010 partners will embark on a series of study visits, staff exchanges, seminars and publications to raise awareness and share experiences of the realities of traffi cking for sexual exploitation and good practice policy and services. Partners will work to show how best practice models can be replicate across the participating member states of Ireland, Lithuania, Scotland/UK and Spain.
