ATLAS Resources

Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, the Attaining Lasting Change for Better Enforcement of Labor and Criminal Law to Address Child Labor, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking (ATLAS) project worked with governments in Thailand, Liberia, Paraguay, and Argentina to improve their ability to address child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking through strengthened laws, regulations, and policies; improved enforcement of existing laws; and increased coordination between actors. Winrock partnered with the NGOs Lawyers Without Borders (LWOB), Partners of the Americas (POA), and Desarrollo y Autogestión (DyA), and across countries, ATLAS implemented 18 unique sets of activities.

This site provides evidence-based tools, strategies, and methodologies developed as part of the project at the global and country levels. These tools and strategies aimed to enhance the capacity of government and non-government actors to strengthen their legal frameworks, improve enforcement efforts, and promote coordination between law enforcement and other agencies to prevent child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking crimes.

Global Enforcement Training Program

The Global ETP is a detailed manual to train front-line workers, including labor inspectors, law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and other government and civil society workers, on the various steps in enforcing laws and investigating and prosecuting child labor and trafficking crimes. It was created to serve as a guiding resource to develop tailored training materials for each country context according to their needs.
