The Justice Project e.V., Karlsruhe
The Justice Project e.V. is a non-profit association based in Karlsruhe. Since 2011, the association has been working with survivors of human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation as well as with women working in Germany’s legalised sex industry.
The contact café Mariposa serves as a counselling centre where women working in prostitution can receive assistance and access to other social and medical services. In addition, street work is carried out, in which women are met directly in brothels, flats and on the streets.
OASE is the department which supports survivors of human trafficking on their way to an independent and self-determined life. Survivors have the opportunity to live in an anonymous house and participate in "Kompass," a preparatory integration program which includes German language classes, literacy, cultural classes, trauma management and creative activities.
Gemeinsam gegen Menschenhandel e.V., Berlin
"Together against Human Trafficking" is an alliance of more than 40 organisations and initiatives as well as some committed individuals who work in different ways against human trafficking. The focus is on public relations work; prevention in Germany and the countries of origin; victim protection and assistance for victims through support for member organisations that do outreach work and run shelters and/or specialist counselling centres. Others have opened a so-called "Freedom Business", which enables them to offer affected and particularly vulnerable people a job and thus their own income; improvement of the legal framework in Germany by supporting measures that improve the criminal prosecution of traffickers as well as victim protection and compensation.
