The specific objectives of the project are: - To promote exchange of expertise for the process of voluntary return of women victims of trafficking from Italy as well as the specifities of their reintegration in Bulgaria and Romania and to explore best practices to involve victims in initiatives for their protection in order to build a trusting relationship between them and the ONGs and institutions working in the field of assistance and support;
- To implement methodologies and procedures through different pilot initiatives such as: support to the victims through return arrangements, vocational training activities, support to the victims to enter the labour market, and information campaign;
- To disseminate the results across Europe to encourage similar initiatives.
