Trafficking in Human Beings: Protection of Victims’ rights in Criminal Proceedings<br />
and beyond<br />
Summary<br />
This project aims at the sensitisation of judges, prosecutors and police officers to satisfy the rights and<br />
needs of victims of Trafficking in Human Beings, as well as at increasing their knowledge of relevant<br />
European standards and their ability to realise them. Furthermore, judges, prosecutors and representatives<br />
of NGOs in Romania and selected EU Member States (assumed to be target countries for trafficked<br />
Romanian citizens) shall have the possibility to make contacts and exchange experience concerning<br />
victim involvement in legal procedures and assistance to victims.<br />
In the course of the project, a symposium on “Victim Rights in Criminal Proceedings and European<br />
Standards” was held in Vienna in February 2007 in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice. From October<br />
2007 till June <strong>2008</strong> five trainings were held in Romania. At the end of the project a final joint<br />
seminar took place in Amsterdam. In order to ensure the sustainability of the trainings a handbook in<br />
Romanian and English was developed for the target group and disseminated.<br />
