More information on the ATC:
The "Anti Trafficking Center" (ATC) is a citizens’ association with a
mission of promoting universal human rights in Serbia and Montenegro
and the region.
The ATC is a non-governmental, non-profit organization which is trying
to contribute, through its programs, to eradicating trafficking in
human beings, with a special emphasis on the CAUSES of the problem of
trafficking, such as gender-based violence, poverty, unemployment, and
the lack of suitable opportunities.
The ATC focuses on the roots of the problem to eradicate it entirely.
Mostly women and girls are victims of trafficking in Europe.
A structural change requires a long-term strategy in which educational
and governmental institutions are involved.
The ATC trains people working in various ways with risk groups. In
this way these professionals can share their knowledge and by doing
that prevent violence, discrimination, militarism, nationalism and in
the end human trafficking.
The ATC spreads her knowledge by seminars, workshops, counselling
programs, trainings and help programs for those people living along
the margins of society.
