The Council of Europe is launching a call for proposals to support non-governmental organisations in Bosnia and Herzegovina working to assist victims of trafficking in human beings.

The call is part of the project “Strengthening Anti-Trafficking Responses in Bosnia and Herzegovina through Systemic Reform, Policy Development and Comprehensive Support for Victims.” It aims to co-fund local projects that improve access to specialised, victim-centred services, in line with Council of Europe standards.

Through this call, the Council of Europe seeks to strengthen the role of civil society in providing support to victims, including safe accommodation, psychosocial assistance, legal counselling and support for reintegration. Particular focus is placed on improving the quality, accessibility and sustainability of services, as well as strengthening co-operation with public institutions.
