Summary

Objective: The general objective of this 30-month project was to protect migrants' rights, especially against exploitation and trafficking, by providing them with information on legal migration opportunities, and enhancing the capacity of actors offering them assistance. Specifically, the project aimed at preventing irregular migration through information campaigns that promote legal migration, promoting the capacity of national administrations to fight against smuggling and trafficking in human beings and strengthening national and international cooperation in the field of anti-trafficking, particularly in the fields of transnational referral and the exchange of best practices. Publications produced under the project will be released in April 2014.
