Prevention
COHF uses value-based trainings targeting trafficking hotspots as a principal tool to prevent a possible trafficking occurrence.
Rescue, Protection and Prosecution
We regularly collaborate with the law enforcement officials to conduct joint rescue operations. COHF also works with the identified shelter homes to provide a safe and healing environment for the rescued victims while offering psychosocial support and therapeutic programs to aid the healing process. To ensure that victims find justice, we cooperate with relevant agencies for investigations and prosecution of the perpetrators.
Rehabilitation and Re-integration
In order to prevent re-exploitation of rescued victims, COHF offers life-skills & vocational training to assist the victims to gain dignified livelihood so as to breaks the cycles of poverty and social exclusion.
Connecting Grassroots Action to Global Studies
