EUROPEAN RESOURCE PREVENTION CENTER FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING (EURC)

The European Resource Center for the Prevention of Trafficking in Persons and Other Forms of Exploitation (EURC) was established in November 2013 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in response to the increase in human trafficking as well as other forms of exploitation, in the region and Europe, and the need for suppression and the prevention of these criminal activities on a global level.

The aim of the EURC is to serve as a central research and information mechanism for local and international actors involved in the trafficking phenomenon; to provide information on forms, causes and trends; profile of victims; legal provisions; identification methods and referral mechanisms; practices of reintegration; preventive and educational resources, including manuals and guidelines; statistics and best practices for action in combating trafficking in human beings, as well as information related to other forms of exploitation and prevention.

EURC through the web portal www.eurcenter.net offers a unique tool for online reporting of human trafficking cases and an electronic library of relevant literature. Within the activities of the Resource Center, seven editions of the specialized electronic bulletin have been prepared, distributed over 500 addresses in order to provide up-to-date information for EMMAUS communities and all interested actors on the phenomenon of human trafficking and other forms of exploitation. EURC activities include exchange of information, planning activities, networking, training and capacity building, development and distribution of information material, improvement of cooperation with governmental, non-governmental, local and international actors.
