From September 2011 to June 2013, with funding from U.S. Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, ABA ROLI implemented its program to fight human trafficking by empowering local communities through increased public awareness of economic rights and human trafficking schemes in rural areas. Throughout this program, ABA ROLI built and maintained close relationships with key governmental bodies, the criminal justice community and youth education groups—including law schools—to ensure anti-human trafficking lessons were sustained beyond the life of the program.
