EMPOWERFULL - FUQIPLOTË
"EmpowerFULL" (FuqiPLOTË in Albanian) is a socio-economic empowerment model which assists in the economic reintegration process of survivors of human trafficking through capacity building training sessions and provision of sustainable employment opportunities.
EmpowerFULL's mission is to economically empower survivors of human trafficking in Albania by providing the tools to strengthen their skills and the means to become financially independent.
Three Main Pillars of EmpowerFULL
-
Personal development: Personal development training provided by experts from EmpowerFULL and vocational training opportunities.
-
Engagement: Facilitates the process of engagement and cooperation of survivors with the local community by providing to survivors diverse opportunities for training, active involvement and community-based activities.
-
Employment: Survivors of human trafficking independent from social assistance benefits and non-state support. Instead, they can identify and access resources and employment, increase their income and strengthen their position in the community.
What might happen after human trafficking?
Victims of human trafficking are faced with limited resources to support their rehabilitation and reintegration process, as well as with weak protection from the government, and limited employment opportunities. They need tailored economic empowerment opportunities to assist in their reintegration process and prevent the risk of re-traficking.
