Detail Activities

Helplines is the direct operationalization of the SAARC Convention on Preventing and Combating Trafficking in Women and Children. The    intra-country    mechanisms    will    bring convergence to the efforts of the 8 Member States to prevent and combat trafficking of women and children. The Project outcomes also contribute to achieving the SDGS (DG 4 related to a robust pro- poor growth process; 6 on Reducing social and institutional vulnerabilities of the poor, women and children; 7 on accesses to affordable justice), the MDGs and the poverty reduction strategies being implemented.

It is also a proven   fact   that   progress for children and women are core factors for preventing state fragility and ensuring long-term sustainable development, social cohesion, stability and security at national and regional levels.
