In English

The Danish Centre against Human Trafficking was officially established in September 2007. The centre manages the social dimensions of the national Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking 2007 - 2010, and has three executive goals:

• To improve the social assistance to victims of human trafficking
• To coordinate collaboration between social organizations and other public authorities
• To collect and convey knowledge in the field of human trafficking

Target Group
The target group for the assistance outlined in the new Action Plan are all potentially trafficked individuals in Denmark. The largest group has until now been women trafficked into prostitution, but children trafficked into crime, begging or prostitution as well as men and women trafficked into forced labour, crime, or organ donation are also included in the Action Plan.

Organization
The centre is organized under the National Board of Social Services, and reports to the Department of Gender Equality, under the Ministry of Social Welfare. Within the National Board of Social Services, the department dealing with issues of prostitution and abuse coordinates the Danish Centre against Human Trafficking. The leader of this department is therefore also the acting leader of the Centre. The Danish Centre against Human Trafficking is further staffed with a coordinator, a social worker consultant and three consultants who address other various assignments within the department's subject areas of prostitution and abuse.
