SOUTH ASIA REGIONAL INITIATIVE/ EQUITY SUPPORT (SARI/EQUITY)
Print Version (PDF)

Over the past decade the movement of individuals, particularly of women and children, across national and international borders has increased in South Asia. These migrants are vulnerable to human rights abuses, especially trafficking for sex trade and domestic violence. NGOs and NGO networks in the region have been active in developing programs to improve the implementation of legal protections for vulnerable populations and to rehabilitate survivors/victims of violence. The South Asia Regional Initiative/Equity Support Program (SARI/Equity) was designed to support and reinforce these initiatives at the regional level by improving the implementation of laws and policies that protect women and children, fostering safe migration, and strengthening the care of survivors/victims of violence. To effect these changes, SARI/Equity worked closely with NGOs, other civil society institutions, and governments.
