Coalesce - Legal, psycho-social and economic empowerment for victims of trafficking

Female symbol: Coalesce

Coalesce works to support to victims of trafficking in human beings: providing gender-specific psycho-social, legal and economic support and assistance to third-country national women victims of sex trafficking.

About the Coalesce project


The Coalesce project is a 2 year-long initiative starting October 2020 between 9 organisations across the EU. It is an evolution of the Immigrant Council's previous project called ASSIST (Gender Specific Legal Assistance and Integration Support for Third Country National Female Victims of Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation), adding a new economic dimension to the research and service provision of supports for trafficked women.

The Coalesce project works to support victims of trafficking who are usually migrant women by providing gender-specific supports in psycho-social, legal and economic matters.,

The project also aims to develop synergies and best practices for frontline professionals and practitioners in swiftly identifying victims and allocating supports, as well as improving cooperation between countries in these areas.

Coalesce aims to place the voices and authentic opinions of trafficked women at the centre of the work to provide support to victims of trafficking.
