ARETUSA was legally established in Brussels in 2007. ARETUSA is a European network for the promotion of equal opportunity policies and currently counts 18 member associations from 15 European countries that already experienced the added value of transnational cooperation at European level through an informal network, the “European Network Against Trafficking in Women for Sexual Exploitation” (E.N.A.T.W.). These NGOs have strengthened their capacity to work together according to a common chart of principles with regard to the exchange of information and best practices, making recommendations to EU member states, monitoring of European and national policies.
The project is supported by the NGO Fund of the EEA/Norwegian Financial Mechanism.
The project aims to build out a care system for victims based on interdisciplinary co-operation in Hungary to support the fight against trafficking in women and prostitution. It intends to establish co-operation between the governmental authorities for a more appropriate legal policy.
