Work in Freedom is a five-year, inter-regional initiative that is taking a targeted approach to prevent the trafficking of women and girls in South Asia and the Middle East.a The development objective is to reduce the incidence of trafficking of women and girls from India, Bangladesh and Nepal through economic, social and legal empowerment. At least 100,000 women and girls will be reached in South Asian source countries of migrant
workers and in major destination countries for migrant workers (India and selected Arab States). The programme targets in particular domestic work and the garment sector. Key stakeholders include governments, trade unions, business and employers’ associations, recruitment agents, NGOs, community-based organizations and women migrant workers and their organizations. An innovative aspect is the emphasis given to rigorous impact assessment, given the lack of robust evidence on what works and what doesn’t with respect to prevention of human trafficking. This will be implemented by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
