The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives.

Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity, and hope to millions uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

Background of the Project
Trafficking in human beings is a horrifying reality and human rights violation rooted in gender inequalities. People are trafficked for different purposes, but sexual exploitation remains prevalent in the EU. Moreover, with the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the risk of violence, exploitation, and abuse is heightened.

As a key strategy for the protection and empowerment of VoT women and girls and based on findings of the previous AMIF-funded projects, it is vital to support social and labor integration of women and adolescent girls' victims/survivors of trafficking by establishing Women and Girls Safe Spaces (WGSSs) i.e., spaces co-created with women and girls entangled in conflict, disasters, and displacement which supports their empowerment and participation.

The main target of the Safe Hut project is third-country national women and adolescent girls who were exposed to trafficking experience, including those who have not acquired an official identification, with a special focus on women and girls who are victims of trafficking and those at risk due to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.

The Safe Hut project directly involves 7 expert partners from 6 EU countries (Italy, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Romania, and Bulgaria), some of which have been at the center of mass migration from Ukraine in recent months.

Building on the WGSS model developed by the International Rescue Committee and based on practical experience of Centro PENC regarding the establishment of WGSS in Palermo, the project will establish and pilot 4 new WGSSs in Greece, Lithuania, Romania, and Bulgaria and will include an additional childcare service in WGSS in Palermo.

The project will also advocate for the long-term financial and resource sustainability of WGSS in 5 countries and its replication to different contexts.
