On May 18, ECPAT Belgium organised a training for the Brussels Bar Association, in the framework of the ReACT project. This training was specifically aimed at lawyers working with unaccompanied foreign minors. It was given in collaboration with two shelters for victims of trafficking (Espéranto and PAG-ASA).

Barreau de Bruxelles

Many fruitful exchanges occurred on how to better identify and protect child victims of trafficking. Given the satisfaction of the participants and the innovative nature of the training, this initiative will surely be duplicated in the future!

For now on, we will be the contact point for any company based in Belgium which wants to raise awareness on the issue and train their staff.
