Anu Juvonen visits NGO Atina: experiences from the field and challenges in protecting victims of human trafficking.

Belgrade Airport has joined in supporting NGO Atina’s work by placing donation boxes at the airport, giving passengers an opportunity to contribute to the support of women and girls who have survived human trafficking and various forms of violence.

An airport is a place of thousands of journeys. Some people are leaving, some are returning, some are waiting for someone, and some are starting over. Now, among all these journeys, there is also an opportunity to stop for a moment and become part of someone else’s.

They are here: 107 women from 29 countries and a life that cannot wait

Since the beginning of the year, NGO Atina has continued to work with migrant and refugee women and girls from different parts of the world at the Reception Centre in Bujanovac, the Asylum Centre in Obrenovac, as well as at the Open Club in Belgrade.
