The main aim of the project is to support relevant national and local authorities in combating and prosecuting forced labour in labour exploitation cases in Sweden and assisting victims 

Specific tasks of the project are: 

• to deepen knowledge about the trafficking for labour exploitation phenomenon in Sweden and the Baltic Sea Region. 
• to stimulate dialogue and foster experience and a know – how exchange between the authorities in Sweden and other EU member states identified within the frame of the project. 
• to increase the capacity and expand the mandate of national authorities to counteract trafficking for labour exploitation in Sweden.
