NATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE ON CIVIL REMEDIES
FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS

Sponsored By:

Hosted By:

This National Training Institute was funded by a generous grant from The ABA Enterprise Fund (the “Fund”), which provides internal grants of seed money to fund innovative, collaborative efforts between ABA entities. In October 2006, the ABA Board of Governors established the Fund to provide collaborative grants to ABA entities for entrepreneurial projects that (1) advance the strategies identified in the ABA Strategic Plan; and (2) promote greater collaboration among the many entities that make up the ABA.

The collaborating partners on The National Leadership and Training for Civil Legal Assistance to Victims of Human Trafficking Project are the Commission on Domestic Violence, Commission on Immigration, Rule of Law Initiative, Center for Pro Bono, Commission on Youth at Risk, Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities, and Center for Human Rights.  The Project was funded in fiscal year 2007 for 12 months in the amount of $100,000 by the ABA Enterprise Fund.
