Regional Initiatives:

Anti Trafficking - a Network Initiative in West Bengal ActionAid Kolkata Regional Office is working through partners on the issue of Anti Trafficking (AT) since 2004 with local partner NGOs in West Bengal . The AT work is through a network mode in the state and also between Bangladesh and India.

The major initiatives at the district level were directed towards prevention, advocacy for the rights of the vulnerable communities, rescue and rehabilitation of the trafficked persons.
