Drop in center for victims of trafficking 2014

Based on RGS experience, the most common problem among victims of trafficking is the lack of skill to work independently. RGS began drop in center program in 2014 targeting victims of trafficking. Empowering victims through skill training is outcome of the drop in center program. Program was conducted in Batam and jakarta. RGS set up connection with local social department to get permission to conduct activities both in Batam and Jakarta.

• RGS in Batam held the program in prostitution area. RGS made 3 activities include cooking, sewing, and hand-crafting. RGS met challenges that made the program must be stopped after third meeting.
• RGS in Jakarta focused the program on beauty training. 98 victims participated in beauty training class. They learned hair treatment, skin treatment and make up. Since beauty treatment is common trend, RGS hoped they would start simple make-up and hair job for villagers in their home. 

One victim from Medan currently work as beauty treatment helper in a beauty salon.
