We offer
free legal services to potential and / or human trafficking victims and Non-Profit Organisations conducting similar work.
We also host workshops to train those who work in fields that may bring them into contact with victims of human trafficking, as well as interested members of the public, in the legal provisions of trafficking in persons.
