About JATN

Stop trafficking, migrate safely

The Jharkhand Anti Trafficking Network (JATN) is a collective network that counters trafficking and promotes safe migration policy and practice at village level. There is no specific financial support for this intervention, so CKN uses its own resources, with the help of the British Asian Trust, in 10 villages of Kamdara block in Gumla district.

Within its area, CKN makes people aware of trafficking, the risks of unsafe migration, and government schemes for labourers, including registration and the norms for each category of labourer. This happens through community and village meetings, SHG and VO meetings, and groups of adolescents and youth.

Seminars and awareness campaigns also bring in PRI members, government officials, teachers, political and religious leaders, who can advocate for safe migration and the safety of migrants, and help victims and their families in emergencies.

Project mission

Awareness generation among communities
