The “Invisible among us” campaign is a continuation of similar campaigns carried out in Ukraine and Belarus, within the Program against human trafficking, financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway and implemented by the IOM missions in these countries.
The purpose of this Campaign is to inform society about the risks and consequences of the TFU phenomenon, with an emphasis on risk groups, especially from rural areas. The messages are transmitted through 10 human figurines on which are inscribed the real stories of over 3000 victims, citizens of the Republic of Moldova, identified and who have received assistance since the 2000s until now.
In the workshop that was held after the official launch of the Campaign, topics related to the efficiency of the actions taken in the field of TFU prevention were discussed by involving each individual actor within the limits of professional responsibilities and interests at the Căușeni district level.
