3. Protection
AAT women and children protection work puts women and children found in hazardous conditions in a safe situation that protect them from risks of exploitation and trafficking. Hazardous conditions can include at risk groups or victims in exploitation places, in entertainment places, in detention, or deprived of basic rights (such as legal documentation). AAT will take actions to transfer them to protection shelters, refer them to appropriate government or non government agencies, take them home, ensure safe reception while deported at the border or provide them with registration documents.
During 2010, 114 target women and children could be protected under the actions of AAT including 76 Laotians, 3 Cambodians, 18 Burmese, 1 Chinese, 4 Thai, 11 stateless and 1 with unknown nationality.
