Child trafficking response programme in South East Europe. Phase III (2009/2011)

Every year, thousands of juveniles and minors from Southeast Europe are trafficked and involved in different forms of exploitation, which calls for the implementation of activities that address the identified risks that many of these children are faced with. This is the main focus of the three-year Child Trafficking Response Programme (CTRP), funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Oak Foundation, and implemented in seven countries in Southeastern Europe with the aim of providing support to at-risk or trafficked children in Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzgovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Romania and Serbia. In Bulgaria, the programme is implemented by Partners Bulgaria Foundation (PBF), and addresses both preventive interventions for children at risk and advocacy. The document includes key messages and recommendations by young people participating in PBF’s Resource Centre in the town of Kjustendil
