Field missions allow VVAF to engage with Human Rights Defenders directly and to detect the environment in which they are working to expand the network and inter-connectivity and facilitate enhanced discussions strategies and best practices. Among a range of follow up work to the Protection VVAF prepares briefing papers, Periodic Review, joint statements, media forums and reports in partnership with the relevant government representatives and other CSOs and multimedia reports for the purpose of advocacy and campaigning.

This is supplemented by the VVAF ‘SafeApp’ designed to allow everyone to safely speak and inform about a situation or actual trafficking and unsafe migration. The app (still under design) also has approved referral systems in the different places across the world.
Advocacy
Advocacy and networking for a just and fair legal and policy environment that promote rights, equality and non-discrimination. The goal is to achieve systemic changes towards the realization and fight against modern slavery exploitation and trafficking of humans. VVAF works with several authorities and Civil society in different Countries to ensure a network of stakeholders for the common cause. These are fundamental in case of referral of survivors but also in influencing policies around safe migration and human trafficking justice. Through networking and advocacy, VVAF provides alternative means of social economic survival for communities so that they are not wooed into inhumanity as research portrays that most victims are taken advantage of due to the social economic status, so we believe that having an alternative source pf survival is valid in ending Trafficking.
