The project Libertà started as a joint pilot project of the campaign “End Human Trafficking Now!” and Friends of Humanity back in June 2008. After a 6 months pilot phase, Libertà successfully achieved its objectives: detect and identify potential victims; provide specialized help and support to victims (shelter: medical, social and psychological assistance, legal counseling...); raise awareness of the general public on this issue; improve the existing network for the assistance of victims. This confirmation of the existence of human trafficking in Geneva and the identification of the gaps and needs in victims' protection, encouraged FOH to further this project.

The KPMG Foundation supported the project in the pilot phase.
