Why we do it
Prerana’s Anti-Trafficking Online Resource Center (ATC) is your trusted knowledge partner in the movement against human trafficking and commercial/non-commercial sexual violence. It branches out across research, creation and dissemination of knowledge products, sensitization, training and capacity building, social media advocacy, policy analysis, legal aid interventions, and networking, in the broader domain of anti-human trafficking intervention. Agreeing with our conviction that a strong knowledge base is essential in creating and sustaining a social movement against human trafficking and gender-based violence, the Department of State of the US Government encouraged Prerana to set up an Anti-Trafficking Centre (ATC) in 2000 which in no time proved its excellence.
What We Do About It
The ATC aptly described as a trusted knowledge partner for a wide range of stakeholders generates empirical knowledge and disseminates it widely. It is a space that encourages networking and collective thinking among the positive stakeholders. Besides establishing itself as a source of cost free non monopolized and reliable knowledge, the ATC in a short while produced tools of training, learning and mass awareness that earned global excellence and recognition like CANNES Festival, Podcasts like Human Not for Sale etc.
The ATC has served as an engine for large scale mobilization for awareness and organizing intensely participatory discussions. such as rallies, processions, marathons, flash shows, poster campaigns, 16 Days of Activism etc.
Acknowledging the preconditions of sustainability the ATC has contributed its cent in working closely and collaboratively with the state agencies, building their capacities and offering precisely fitting innovations e.g. our latest innovation the Specialised Social Casework Training Program.
