  1. Organizational Background

    Heartland Alliance International (HAI) is the youngest and fastest growing part of Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights, a family of organizations that has been leading anti-poverty and social justice work in Chicago for more than 125 years. HAI is comprised of nearly a dozen country offices implementing programs on a broad range of human rights issues globally, as well as the Chicago-based Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors of Torture, which serves individuals from more than 50 countries. HAI has significant expertise in the fields of trauma-informed mental health care and access to justice for survivors of rights abuses. It is also an industry leader in access to high-quality and stigma-free health care. Across all of its programs, HAI promotes progressive, innovative approaches to human rights protections and gender equality.

    Project Background

    With generous support from Office to Monitor and Combat Human Trafficking (J/TIP), HAI launched the Strengthening Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in Northeast Nigeria project, which started in January 2018 and will end in December 2019. This is a two-year grant to improve the capacity of governments, civil society, and communities to protect and provide comprehensive services for survivors of trafficking in Northeast Nigeria, particularly former child soldiers and women and girls trafficked by combatants for forced labor and/or sexual exploitation. Project’s activities take place in Northeast Nigeria (Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states) and aim to improve comprehensive services for victims of trafficking, including former child soldiers and women and girls trafficked for forced marriage and sexual exploitation and build the capacity of existing local partner institutions providing services to survivors of trafficking.

    The project objectives include:

    Objective 1: Specialized service providers have improved coordination and are able to identify victims of trafficking

    Objective 2: Social service stakeholders in northeast Nigeria provide quality and comprehensive shelter, protection, and psychosocial services to victims of trafficking.

Partnership:

This project is implemented in partnership and close collaboration with the National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons – NAPTIP, and more specifically NAPTIP Maiduguri Zonal Command, responding to trafficking in persons in six states in Northeast Nigeria. HAI also has a partnership with Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development (MoWASD) in Borno State. In addition, HAI, IOM and UNHCR, established Anti-Trafficking Task Force in Borno State, chaired by NAPTIP and MoWASD. HAI, IOM and UNHCR provide technical and operational support. The purpose of the task force is to bring stakeholders together to work collaboratively, in a coherent manner to combat TIP in Northeast Nigeria through strengthening their capacity to prevent, mitigate, and respond to TIP by drawing upon the comparative advantages of all the stakeholders. HAI continue its efforts to establish and build the capacity of the Task Force in close collaboration with IOM and UNHCR in Borno State.

Project Focus and Approach:

Northeast Nigeria: The project focus is on combatting TiP in Humanitarian/Conflict Settings and TiP perpetrated by non-state armed groups, such as Boko Haram and ISWAP. The work approach is through:

  • Protection/Technical Assistance: Capacity building of government actors and social service providers through the lens of MHPSS.
  • Trauma-informed mental health services for victims of TiP, including children.
  • Trainings on efficient procedures for victims identification and screening using victims centric approach, including identifying child victims of trafficking for social workers working in IDP camps and transit (rehabilitation) centers.
  • Case management plan for victims of human trafficking for social workers, protection officers, case managers and NAPTIP officers.
  • Prevention/Awareness Raising and Sensitization at all levels:
  • in IDP camps and host communities
  • with communal leaders (district heads) and religious leaders
  • participatory workshops on TiP in Northeast Nigeria and specifically about cultural and poverty driven practices, leading to exploitation of children, such as Al-Majiri schools, forced child begging and street hawking, forced child labor, forced marriage, including child marriage
  • working on awareness raising plan, for communal and religious leaders to step down in their communities and hard to access local governmental areas.
  • work with the Protection Cluster Working Groups (PSWG) and sub-sectors to mainstream TiP among the cluster system in Northeast Nigeria
  • Partnerships/Improving Coordination and Referrals: Working with IOM, UNHCR, NAPTIP, MoWASD and other international, national and civil society partners to support coordination of services and referral mechanisms.

This project is the successor of Protect, Shelter, and Heal project, carried out by HAI from 2016 to 2017 in Nigeria and Swaziland. Through that project, HAI provided technical assistance to government agents and civil society organizations to address gaps in identification and protection for victims of trafficking and in the understanding and application of the trafficking in persons’ local and international legal frameworks.

In the late 1800s, Chicago was quickly becoming home to one of America’s largest immigrant populations. They came in pursuit of the American dream of hope and opportunity, but struggled to find a foothold. That’s when poverty, illness and homelessness set in.Heartland Alliance opened its doors in 1888, pioneered, in part, by Jane Addams, founder of Hull House and one of Chicago’s first leaders in the movement to end poverty. From the beginning, we worked to bring healthcare, housing and support to people facing homelessness. Over the years, we’ve continued our mission, helping to restore dignity to the most vulnerable populations. We reconnected immigrant families separated at Ellis Island and became first responders during the Great Depression to those in need of housing. When veterans returned from World War I and World War II, we offered them the services they needed to recover. Later, as crises of homelessness, limitations on mental and physical healthcare services and the spread of HIV/AIDS reached a fever pitch, we were among the first to respond, opening some of Chicago’s first housing and healthcare clinics to serve those in need.heartland_history008These principles still guide us today. We now work throughout the Midwest and in 20 countries around the world, using our experience to advocate for change. We serve more than 500,000 people each year, including refugees, those experiencing homelessness and chronic illness, and those seeking justice. We connect them with the services they need to escape poverty and heal, just as we have for more than 125 years. Want to learn more about our mission to end poverty? Read about our work in housing, healthcare, jobs and justice.

Heartland Alliance, one of the world’s leading anti-poverty organizations, works in communities in the U.S. and abroad to serve those who are homeless, living in poverty, or seeking safety. It provides a comprehensive array of services in the areas of health, housing, jobs and justice – and leads state and national policy efforts, which target lasting change for individuals and society.Mission Heartland Alliance advances the human rights and responds to the human needs of endangered populations—particularly the poor, the isolated, and the displaced—through the provision of comprehensive and respectful services and the promotion of permanent solutions leading to a more just global society.
