Who are We?

This Internet site has been developed within the framework of the Daphne Programme set up by the European Commission (Justice and Home Affairs General Directorate).

The content of these pages do not in any way reflect the opinions of the European Commission or its services.

The Daphne Project (00/017/WC) brings together the International Organization for Migration (IOM) (based in Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Rome, and Athens) and the following bodies: Pag-Asa and Payoke (based in Belgium) along with Differenza Donna, Associazione On the Road, and Servizio Migranti Caritas - Torino (based in Italy). The project is co-ordinated by the Comité Contre l'Esclavage Moderne (CCEM) (Committee Against Modern Slavery, based in France).

The objective of this two-year project is to record, analyse, and promote information about the best methods of providing assistance to victims of trafficking in human beings, with the general aims of integration into destination countries or reintegration into the countries of origin. The notion of trafficking in human beings encompasses exploitation through work or sex.

This Internet site is intended for use first and foremost by NGOs working with victims of trafficking in human beings, as well as by law-enforcement agencies and legal authorities. It is also intended to serve as a source of information for politicians, local councillors, researchers, students, and journalists.
