As part of the project deliverables, a series of roundtables are being organized to which the Human Rights Initiatives Unit contributes. During these meetings relevant stakeholders discuss ways in which they can collaborate further between them to ensure the maximum protection and support to victims of trafficking.

In collaboration with the All Equal Project, a series of outreach sessions within the migrant community are being organised to raise awareness on what is human trafficking, how to identify signs of trafficking, where to report and the services available to potential victims of trafficking. The first session took place as part of the Blue Heart Campaign 2022​, and aims to contribute towards the implementation of Action 11 of the National Action Plan on Human Trafficking 2020-2023.​

Malta Police Force

The Unit works closely with the Malta Police Force particularly on prosecution elements of the crime, but not only. A training programme will be launched for the benefit of police officials, in particular border control officers and police officers at border crossing points in relation to the identification of potential human trafficking cases, as part of enhancing identification efforts. The programme will focus on the drafting of a check list to assist risk of human trafficking, and training in relation to the referral of potential cases. This action will also contribute to the FRONTEX Action Plan on anti-trafficking.

The Group of Experts on Action agianst Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (GREVIO)​ strongly encourages the Maltese authorities to set up institutionalised structures for co-ordination and co-operation among all of the different governmental and non-governmental agencies and service providers to ensure multi-agency co-operation based on a gendered understanding of violence against women and domestic violence and focusing on the human rights and safety of victims, as well as on their empowerment and economic independence.

Such structures for co-ordination and co-operations shall address all forms of violence against women, beyond domestic violence. This includes guidelines and co-operation procedures / protocols for authorities dealing with violence against women, as well as a system for sharing expertise and experience in handling such cases, such as the MARAM. GREVIO strongly encourages the inclusion of specialist women’s support services run by NGOs in any formal and informal co-operation structures. Work on MARAM kick started through a project entitled Full Cooperation: Zero Violence.

Given that the Human Rights Directorate assumed the function of National Rapporteur on the implimentation of the Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims, the Commission for Gender-Based Violence and Domestic Violence and the Human Rights Initiatives Unit have joined forces to formalise guidelines on human trafficking and identify ways through which the two can assist one another on addressing GREVIO’s recommended for formalised multiagency ​guidelines for all forms of violence against women.​
