*Please note that this post is a part of an extra-budgetary (ExB) project with funding available until August 2019, therefore the selected candidate will be offered a fixed-term the contract with this end date.
The Staff of the Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (OSR-CTHB) implements an ExB project on “Combating human trafficking along migration routes” which aims at enhancing States’ capacities to effectively identify and prosecute THB along migratory trails in a human rights-compliant manner.
This first OSCE human trafficking simulation-based learning initiative promotes an innovative approach to capacity building, where-by anti-trafficking practitioners from both participating States pS and Partners for Co-operation are called to engage in real-time simulated scenarios to identify and investigate human trafficking, thus improving synergy among key national stakeholders in restoring and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms of the trafficking survivors. During the training activities, practitioners from law enforcement, judiciary, labour inspection, immigration and social authorities, media as well as lawyers, human rights defenders and NGOs will be asked to put into place coordinated responses to, inter alia: THB as a transnational threat, including its links to organized crime; THB as part of the broader migration process, and; THB as a serious human rights violation.
