Alliance for elimination of Human trafficking within India

A critical element of the EMPOWER PEOPLE (Alliance of NGOs and Individuals) is the development of national and local coalitions who will help to implement the campaign on the ground in communities across the country.

Alliance partners include:

• Civic groups
• Ethnic/Immigrant groups
• Women's organizations
• Labor organizations
• Immigration organizations
• Community health providers
• Faith-based organizations and other non-profits
• Social service organizations
• School and collage students
• Every Individual  

Alliance partners will disseminate campaign information and resources to intermediaries who may come in contact with victims of trafficking to inform them of the services available to victims in their communities. Alliance partners also have access to effective communications and outreach strategies for identifying and interacting with victims of human trafficking.

Action Steps for Alliance Partners

The primary goal of the Alliance is to raise public awareness of the issue of human trafficking. Victims of human trafficking are camouflaged -- by sophisticated and often innocent-seeming techniques – from people they may encounter on a daily or random basis. In the weeks and months ahead, new and better methods of detecting, reassuring and rescuing these victims will be developed. For now, partners of the Alliance can help us achieve this goal by implementing any or all of the following action steps:

• Awareness and training for individual fund raising for combating trafficking.  
• Sensitization campaign for profit organizations for the donating their charity to combating trafficking and rehabilitation for Victims.

• Include information about trafficking, its victims and perpetrators in organization newsletters, on websites and through other communication vehicles
• Provide orientation and training sessions, or join with other organizations, including profits, in hosting information forums on the trafficking problem and the fresh national resolve to counter it.
• Request and disseminate, both internally and in appropriate public places, posters, brochures and other materials now being produced and distributed by the Government or NGOs 
• Take part in a new national network that has been established by Capital City Partners to keep local organizations and their members abreast of developments in the awareness campaign as well as ways to address the trafficking challenge

Encourage other organizations, and health and law enforcement officials with whom come in contact, to access the growing body of information and resources available to rescue and restore the victims of this hideous trade in human beings
