Summary
Section One serves to orient the reader to the issue of child trafficking by providing a definition, and through a review of the phenomena and causes. It also describes the ways in which stakeholders can intervene, and in this way describes the context in which Tdh itself defines its role.

Section Two focuses more specifically on Tdh's anti-trafficking programming. It introduces key principles which guide Tdh actions against child trafficking. It presents the aim and axes of intervention for Tdh anti child trafficking projects. Finally, it highlights main elements related to the Tdh mode of action as previously defined by the Foundation.

Section Three provides information on practical actions implemented or supported by Tdh, including the importance we attach to situation analyses as the platform form which our work is built. It then reviews in depth the three different axes of intervention: Prevention (I), Assistance to victims through withdrawal, rehabilitation, and social integration (II) and Advocacy (III). Finally, it explains the approach and concrete actions of networking.
