Online Final Conference of the INSigHT Action
3:00 – 5:30 pm CET
Action funded by the European Union, contracted by ICMPD through the Mobility Partnership Facility
The INSigHT Action has the main aim to increase the capacity of key local stakeholders in the Veneto Region (Italy), Edo State and Lagos (Nigeria) and Stockholm (Sweden) to tackle human trafficking and to deal with its evolving dynamics, trends, forms and modus operandi, with specific attention to women and girls, while promoting knowledge-based policy making in the respective countries and reinforcing transnational cooperation.
Il progetto INSigHT ha lo scopo principale di migliorare la capacità dei principali
stakeholder della Regione Veneto (Italia), degli stati di Edo e Lagos (Nigeria) e dell’area di Stoccolma (Svezia) per affrontare il fenomeno della tratta di esseri umani e far fronte alle sue dinamiche, tendenze, e modus operandi in continua evoluzione, con attenzione specifica a donne e ragazze, promuovendo nel contempo un processo decisionale basato sulla conoscenza e rafforzando la cooperazione transnazionale.
