CROSS BORDER Project: STOP TRAFFIC Location: Uttar Pradesh and Bihar states (two border crossing locations with Nepal) Start: 1 August 2008 Finish: 30 July 2009 Donors: ADRA International Budget: USD $100,000 Beneficiaries: 10,920 people Objectives: To reduce the vulnerability of cross-border migrants (women and children) in the areas of abuse, harassment, trafficking and HIV by empowering them through increased access to relevant and accurate information and services. Activities: 2 Life Guard Centers - a cross-border transit one-stop solution model: he project will establish “Life Guard Centers” in the Badni and Jayanagar cross-border transit points. The center will be an embodiment of an integrated partnership between the local partner NGO and the Police for the protection and safeguarding of human rights. The center will be located closest to the border point on the Indian side of the border. Each center will have a center in charge and 4 mobile volunteers. The center will also have two police constables to represent the local law enforcing agency (government police department). The following activities will be carried out through the center: Educating migrants on their legal rights and the risks involved (trafficking & HIV and AIDS) Information regarding safe migration channels Information of destination points including service providers and services available Orientation on healthcare and access to various services Legal rights and how to use the law to protect their own legal rights How to find a job and how to manage their money Gender awareness Common knowledge of living in the city, including how to rent a room, how to minimise personal safety risks, how to use public transportation, how to use public facilities Identifying apparent trafficked victims and rescue them Providing medical and legal assistance to apparent victims Providing rights-based support in the repatriation, rehabilitation and reunification of rescued trafficked victims. The centers will also identify apparent trafficked victims and attempt to rescue them at the transit point. Networking with source and destination level NGOs: Networking is the only way any sustainable success can be achieved in the trafficking sector. Therefore, the proposed project will strongly focus on building partnerships with source and destination level NGOs. Advocacy workshop for Gate keepers and key border level stakeholders: The project will organise an advocacy workshop for gate keepers of the two selected transit points on Indo-Nepal border. The key intention behind conducting this activity is to influence the gatekeepers of the border areas to introduce the concept and practice of watchdog into their system of border activities by knowing how to watch for illegal and suspicious movements of traffickers. Outcomes: 10,450 vulnerable cross border migrants educated and informed about trafficking and issues related to migration. 180 apparent victims (forced/deceived/lured) rescued at transit point. 180 rescued victims provided with minimum standards of care and support during the repatriation transaction phase. 90% of the rescued victims successfully reunified with their families through the Nepal Government and CBATN Nepal chapter members. 10% of the rescued victims successfully rehabilitated through NGO-run rehabilitation homes in Nepal. Two successful role models for one stop solution to the needs of migrants developed at cross-border transit locations. Detection and interdiction of potentially trafficked women and children is introduced in the border management strategies of SSB.
