Summary

The general objective of the project TOLERANT is to enhance the integration of Third Country National women Victims of Trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation in the labour market in Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Romania, through employment support as well as support in accessing the la-bour market. Supporting victims access to sustainable employment will reduce vulnerability and chances of re-trafficking. 

The guide aims to support Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), services providers and Public Authorities to develop successful and integrated services for Third Country National women Victims of Trafficking for sexual exploitation (women VoT) to enhance their social integration and labour market integration. The Guide offers a set of tools and principles that can be used to adapt the implementation of the victim-centred services to the local reality of the implementing partners/actors.

As far as the structure of the Guide is concerned, following the introduction, the general context as well as data in the EU level and in partners’ countries are presented. A specific analysis through a gender-lens as well as a comparative overview of the context of trafficking for sexual exploitation in Greece, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria and Austria completes the first part of the Guide. After the context’s presentation, an analysis of the main difficulties and challenges encountered by professionals, organisations and authorities when providing support services to women Victims of Trafficking follows. Approaches and methodologies as well as solutions recommended for service provision are also highlighted. Last but not least, the final part of the guide is a proposed implementation actions section which consolidates partners’ expertise regarding the provision of integrated services for women VoT fortheir integration in the labour market
