Trafficking in Armenia

Abstract

Over recent years a lot of work has been done in Armenia by all official organizations and agencies that deal, to a lesser or greater extent, with human trafficking, as well as by non-governmental and international organizations. There are numerous programs, mostly joint ones, involving both official agencies, as well as non-governmental and international organizations, with the purpose of: training personnel of organizations and agencies; informing the population and especially the high-risk groups; offering necessary consultations and information, medical, psychological, legal and financial assistance to human trafficking victims; and contributing to their reintegration. Detailed and complete lists of these programs indicating the number of persons involved etc. can be found in official documents of the Armenian Government and its Council on Human Exploitation (trafficking).
