Stop.Traffick is a partnership and support model strengthening the anti-trafficking programs of in-country NGO’s through awareness raising, capacity building and income generation activities.
Stop.Traffick supports the Healthcare Centre for Children (HCC), a non government organisation (NGO) in Cambodia which runs prevention and protection programs to combat human trafficking. As part of the recovery, redress and re/integration at HCC's Good Day Centre near Phnom Penh, young female survivors of human trafficking learn vocational skills, including the weaving of the traditional krama (scarf).
Stop.Traffick sells these scarves to fund the shelter and further prevention and recovery programs, as well as fundraising to fund additional design and training skills to capacity build both the trainers and beneficiaries of the programs. At the centre the girls and women have the opportunity to learn sewing and weaving, while others choose hairdressing or cooking. HCC also provides them with shelter, food, counselling, educational support and help re/integrating into their preferred communities.
Stop.Traffick partners with education, art and design institutions to meet their goals of fundraising and advocacy. These include:
-A partnership with the Australian Centre for Human Rights Education (ACHRE) to develop a series of public forums exploring the human rights implications of human trafficking.
-An ongoing association with the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University Student Union (RUSU)
-Projects involving students of the Royal Melbourne University of Technology (RMIT) to develop resources for Stop.Traffick, spread awareness about trafficking amongst the student community and provide an outlet for students to develop their skills in their respective areas of study.
