Prishtina, Kosovo: The Kosova Women’s Network (KWN), an Advocacy Project (AP) partner, recently submitted recommendations to Kosovo’s government on the country’s National Action Plan against Trafficking in Human Persons.

The government, in connection with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and other international organizations, has been working on the plan since the old National Action Plan expired in 2007.

KWN is working closely with the Agency for Gender Equality and the Women’s Safety and Security Initiative (WSSI) on the issue of human trafficking and development of the Anti-Trafficking Plan. Civil society input is important to the plan to ensure that diverse viewpoints are represented and that it is realistic and able to be implemented.

AP has sent Peace Fellow Nicole Slezak to volunteer with KWN this summer. You can read more about the group’s work against human trafficking on Nicole’s blog.
