ASTRA Biannual Report 2012-2013

This is a biannual review of the Serbian NGO ASTRA. ASTRA is dedicated to fighting trafficking in human beings. The organisation has been working since 2000 and has been the first to point to the problem of human trafficking in Serbia. As the leader in the field of suppressing human trafficking in our country, since its foundation ASTRA has approached this problem comprehensively, i.e. has dealt with different types of human trafficking and exploitation and worked with different categories of victims – women and children, as well as men. The organisation has simultaneously operated in the fields of provision of direct support to victims, prevention, education, raising of public awareness, research and reporting, public advocacy on both strategic and operative levels and supporting the development of a functional and efficient system for the suppression of human trafficking, which would fully respect human rights of the victims.
