About

assignment

The Action Committee against Internal and International Human Trafficking (CATHII) has the mission of promoting the dignity of all human beings.

  • ensuring respect for the rights of victims and survivors, in particular women and children;
  • and by acting in favor of their protection and support.

It accomplishes its mission through training, research, advocacy and consultation activities.

Vision

Ultimately, CATHII aims to eradicate situations of human trafficking, including sexual exploitation and forced labor, but also other forms of trafficking, as outlined in the Palermo Protocol.


CATHII intervenes from a neo-abolitionist perspective, an approach aimed at criminalizing exploiters and prostitutes (pimps, clients) and not criminalizing women active in the prostitution system.

values

CATHII operates from a humanist perspective, placing the utmost importance on the respect and dignity of every person. CATHII rejects the exploitation of human beings, as well as the buying and selling of people. CATHII promotes and protects the right to a quality life for every human being and the freedom (the right) to move about safely. Through its actions, CATHII aims to contribute to building more egalitarian relationships among people, relationships free from domination and power.
