About Promise TRM

The TRM project has focused on the specific needs of child victims of trafficking and exploitation.

PROMISE TRM aims to make the justice process more child-friendly by improving the skills and capacity of those involved in dealing with cases of child trafficking and exploitation, especially those with a transboundary component. The project also aims to improve cooperation between different authorities and actors handling these cases in the BSR, to facilitate transnational professional exchange including cross-border admissibility of evidence.

The project has worked on creating standards and guidelines for handling child victims of trafficking in national and transnational referral mechanisms. It has also focussed on adapting the Barnahus model specifically to meet the needs of child trafficking victims.

The PROMISE TRM project is coordinated by the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS). The other project partner is Child Circle (Belgium).
