The project has been running for several years now and is fully operational. It consists in building target groups’ (both groups at risk and former victims) empowerment to,on one hand prepare them for adapted tailored occupation alternatives based on their choices, and on the other hand, involve them in social projects to prevent and protect themselves and others from exploitation and trafficking. The project is developed as a bilateral collaboration involving the Thai government and the Lao Women’s Union: rescued girls participate to camps for empowerment trainings and job orientation in Thailand. By this time, the team in Laos studies existing alternatives and the needs of their communities. After repatriation, girls continue their empowerment building in Laos and are provided with career trainings and employment alternatives/income generating projects based on their own choice. AAT then prepares them and supports their protection actions in their communities. The project is mainly supported by FELM and MANOS UNIDAS with the participation of SAVE THE CHILDREN UK and T-CAS.


The verdict of Thailand’s first forced surrogacy case has been announced!
It has been more than a year since we rescued the Vietnamese victims trafficked to become surrogate mothers, and the offend-ers have finally been judged. However, though the traffickers were sentenced as guilty, we are only half way on the road to jus-tice.More
We provide direct field activities in a regional approach covering the full process until reintegration as seen in the following graph.
We use grass roots experience to develop mech anisms
Have a look at the complete actions of AAT see
AAT Reg. Thai prevention actions enable women and minors to keep safe from sexual exploitation and trafficking and encourage victims to leave prostitution. Prevention actions are implemented in several ways: We set up systems in communities at risk to prevent vulnerable women and minors from being trafficked and to be able to protect themselves. We detect missing persons and potential victims for protection on their transit stage before reaching their final destination. We disseminate information in strategic places on trafficking and self protection. We encourage and provide new alternatives to the most vulnerable groups of people and the victims themselves.
The program targets women and minors in general, the ones living in communities at risk such as cross border areas, the most vulnerable ones such as stateless persons, or former victims as well as the ones already involved in prostitution. More / Results
AAT Reg. Thai protection actions consist of saving group at risk or victims from situations of exploitation and transferring them to appropriate safe places.
We develop techniques to find and protect victims with law enforcement agencies or other relevant agencies. We also participate to develop protection mechanisms to: strengthen the victim identification process, encourage cross-border victim’s protection, and to support embassies to protect their citizens.

After been protected from situations of exploitation, AAT Reg. Thai assists victims until their return home. We assist them to access their rights and prepare them for safe return and community reintegration.
We identify the ones kept in detention centers who do not have access to protection and transfer them to adapted centers.
In adapted centers, we provide them with legal support to receive compensations. We also provide them assistance to recover from their mental and physical problems. We then assist them to prepare for their future and build their capacity for community actions. Finally, we prepare them for the different steps of repatriation. More / Results
The role of AAT Reg. Thai is to organize and facilitate repatriation to be safe and convenient for women and minors. AAT Reg. Thai works with both the origin and destination country on preparation, coordination and reception. Our role is to speed up the process, to work in order that victims will be well treated and not be re-trafficked at their arrival. It is also to make sure that their confidentiality will be respected and that they will not be persecuted.
AAT Reg. Thai participates to develop repatriation mechanisms between origin and destination countries and support embassies and relevant agencies for repatriation. AAT Reg. Thai follows up with them just after their return. More / Results
