Project Grant SSJTIP21GR3004

The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement awarded a $1.2 million Project Grant to the American Bar Association Fund For Justice And Education to address low investigations and prosecutions of human trafficking victims and inadequate access to justice and services in Tunisia. The grant funding will support the International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking federal program, which aims to prevent human trafficking, protect and assist victims, and prosecute traffickers. Specifically, the American Bar Association will work to strengthen Tunisia's criminal justice response to human trafficking cases by increasing the number of investigations and prosecutions of traffickers and improving victims' timely access to justice and social services from May 2021 through February 2023.
