Brief description

The project is committed to protecting asylum seekers and refugees in shelters who are at risk of or affected by human trafficking and gender-based violence. It offers both structural and direct support to improve the early identification and referral of those affected to support services. To this end, a scientifically based training concept is being introduced to qualify all employees in the shelters, especially those from outside the field.

In addition, peer-to-peer awareness-raising activities will be carried out to help those affected to communicate their situation, recognize their rights and seek support. In addition, individual trauma-sensitive psychosocial counseling and support is offered to those affected by specialist counseling centers. The project aims to improve the identification and support of victims of human trafficking and gender-based violence and to establish sustainable structures in shelters.

The “Lichtblicke” project takes a holistic approach to improving the protection of vulnerable asylum seekers and refugees in refugee accommodation:

  • Early identification and support through the development, implementation and piloting of a model system in various shelters
  • Peer-to-peer awareness-raising activities in eight shelters led by former trafficked persons to inform asylum seekers and refugees
  • Comprehensive, individual and needs-based support for potential victims of human trafficking and gender-based violence through specialized counseling centers
  • Creation and dissemination of a handbook with the developed model system as open source as well as presentation at state forums and an online symposium to promote the application of the approaches.
