Abstract Spring of Hope is a unit of DMI, which runs “Prevention cum Rehabilitation Program-PRP” for girl victims of trafficking in Tanzania since 2011. So far, over 1500 girls victims of trafficking have been identified and reunified with their families/guardians. However, about 900 children have completed four vocational skill training, awarded with course completion certifications, and created job employability opportunities for them to earn a regular income to cover their basic needs and the needs of the family. Between 2011 and 2014, DMI-SOH accommodated only 30 girls for four vocational skill training, namely beautician, computer, tailoring, and catering. The DMI-SOH has increased the number of admissions from 30 to 72 girls since 2015, and also included catering skills in the rehabilitation program.
DMI-SOH noticed that there are various reasons for girls to move or run out of their homes, native communities. While some are forced by their family members to enter into trafficking world, and their holistic growth and development are exploited and abused completely. To stop human trafficking against female children, DMI-SOH has initiated various awareness programs using various platforms to sensitise 44,875 communities to act, and various other stakeholders, including government officials, to strictly implement the “Anti-trafficking in Persons Act-2008” to stop the human trafficking issue in Tanzania. DMI-SOH has carried out an impact study on human trafficking issues through this program, and even this study is an initiative of DMI-SOH to assess the community’s understanding about child safety and to assess the prevailing practices of children’s movement out of their homes. Since 2011, DMI-SOH has been addressing human trafficking issues in Tanzania.
Over 1500 girls victims of trafficking are rescued, counseled, provided four vocational skill training, and reintegrated with their families/guardians.
Over 34,875 local community members and various other stakeholders have been sensitized on the human trafficking issue since 2015. This study aims to assess the community's understanding of child safety and the prevailing practices of human trafficking.
