TRANSNATIONAL DUBLIN-RETURN ASSISTANCE NETWORK (T-DAN)

High numbers of Dublin Returnees face immediate homelessness due to government paperwork processing delays between Germany and Italy. Because entry into Italian refugee camps is denied until the paperwork is processed, survivors and children in their care are often left without shelter or a supply of basic necessities. The delays (lasting for weeks in some cases), leave isolated und unsupported survivors vulnerable to re-traffficking, re-traumatisation and other forms of violence.

To address this urgend need, the T-DAN was created. The T-DAN is a network of anti-trafficking counselling centres, equipped and wlling to receive Dublin-Returnees from other EU member states and provide essential immediate support to vulnerable survivors and children in their care.
