Training of Police Officers for Empowering and Capacity Building on Anti Human trafficking Outcome 446 Constables and 283 ASIs attended the training programmes. 130 were women participants. The training programme definitely led to an improved awareness on ramifications of training. The two-day workshop had a positive outcome on the police officials of all police stations. In general it was found that most participants knew about trafficking in women for commercial sexual exploitation. They were not aware of the various laws, which may be enforced to strengthen prosecution of crime. As for example, we found that for victims of cross border trafficking they are not aware about ‘repatriation’ and usually follow ‘push back approach’. Participants who had already dealt with cases of trafficking were found to be more aware of laws and procedures. Officials of certain police stations had heard about trafficking but they were not yet aware in detail of ramifications of trafficking, who could be a trafficker, who could become a victim of trafficking, what happens to trafficked people, etc. They often mistook prostitution and trafficking for the same thing. Some of the police officials had no knowledge of ITPA at all. Those who knew about ITPA before the workshop had no in-depth knowledge of the different sections of ITPA. Many did not know how to treat victims or about psycho-social issues. People were found to have opinion that a victim of trafficking was to be accused too, since the victim had engaged in the illegal trade of flesh. Comments given by the officials after the workshop showed an increase of awareness concerning trafficking, which included the realisation of the actual threat that trafficking poses for our society. They furthermore mentioned that they now understood the different laws like ITPA, JJ act and Foreigner’s act and that they have learned how to investigate and collect evidence properly. They also said that they would now make use of the appropriate laws mentioned in the workshops. For many their perception of the survivor had changed. They said that they now know how to communicate with a rescued victim and they are aware that there should always be a lady police official present during an interview with a rescued victim. In all the feedback sessions, many participants said that, now that they are aware of their duty and rights as a police officer, they would do whatever they can to stop trafficking within their area. The officials mentioned that from now on if they suspect cases of trafficking they would immediately inform their superiors. They were of the opinion that it was very important to spread awareness to as many people possible, and, as a next step, combine forces of police, NGOs, Panchayats and local people to fight trafficking. Several participants pointed out that that economic conditions of people should be improved and social maladies like child marriage and dowry should be strictly stopped to decrease vulnerability factors. Furthermore, several participants mentioned it was important to create a comfort zone for the victim while being in the rescuing process, this to ensure a successful rehabilitation later on. Some participants were of the opinion that traffickers caught, should have a special exemplary punishment. The main barriers for the participants to successfully combat trafficking, is lack of manpower, time, infrastructure and communication and the fact that trafficking is not yet priority of crime prevention. Other problems mentioned were the lack of female officials, Contact Base 4
