We have been working closely with refugees who have arrived on the shores of Greece having fled war, torture, dictatorships and injustice. Critical shift in Trafficking strategy occurred in the 90’s where there was a shift from forced movement of people to either ‘happy trafficking’ through deception or in this instance, the exploitation of vulnerable people crossing borders.
It has been important for us to develop and deliver training to the many international volunteers and to the refugees themselves. There are currently 80,000 refugees locked inside Greece due to closed European borders.
