CAPACITY BUILDING OF YOUTH WORKERS WORKING ON INTEGRATION AND INCLUSION OF VULNERABLE YOUTH

OVERVIEW Too often, young individuals around the world suffer extreme hardship or violence, experience discrimination, or face social marginalization. Service providers, researchers, and other witnesses have documented that human traffickers take advantage of such circumstances. Indeed, exploitation appears even more likely when a confluence of such circumstances besets particular communities. The cumulative effects can make certain populations: - refugees and migrants; - LGBTI individuals; - religious and cultural minorities; - people with disabilities; - those who are stateless—especially vulnerable to human trafficking. The current situation is consist of that there is not any youth NGOs in the field of capacity building of youth workers working on integration and social inclusion of vulnerable groups. Therefore the target group of the project is members of Youth NGOs to educate them about following topic.
