Euro-Mediterranean
Network for Youth Trafficking Prevention
(EMNYTP)
EuroMed
Network for Youth Trafficking Prevention (EMNYTP) is the first
Euro-Mediterranean partnership dealing with prevention of
trafficking of young people. EMNYTP
was initiated in the UK in August 2005 and registered as an independent
NGO in September 2006 in Greece.
EMNYTP
is the only initiative in the region that provides a
platform for cooperation, exchange of ideas, support for project
development and databases with educational resources and experts on
youth trafficking prevention.
By now our Network covers 23 countries,
represented by 74 organizations and independent experts, working for
youth trafficking prevention via research, human rights educational
programs, human rights advocacy and lobbying for youth and
immigration policy improvement.
Our
first events started from February 2006 in the following countries:
UK, Greece, FYROM, Bulgaria, Turkey, Hungary (European Youth Center,
Budapest). Local and national events, organized by EMNYTP on human
rights education for youth trafficking prevention are negotiated for
2008 across 11 more European and Mediterranean countries.
We
are supported by the Council of Europe, YOUTH Program of European
Commission, British Council, Euro-Mediterranean Youth Platform,
European Youth Forum, International Organization for Migration,
Global
Youth Coalition on AIDS, UN Department on Trafficking, Child Rights
International, Balkan Human Rights Network
and many other international organizations.
We
are now running our Second Call for National Coordinators and
Associated Centers in all European and Mediterranean countries. This
Call is addressed to organizations and motivated and enthusiastic
professionals with long-term commitment to youth trafficking
prevention. If you are interested in joining us, please send a
letter of inquiry to borislava@youth-trafficking.net.
We
look forward to working with you.
