ABSTRACT: Unlocking opportunities for community based works to develop sustainable reintegration mechanism by Salma Ali, Executive Director, BNWLA

Description of the project : BNWLA had always encouraged community initiatives to ensure sustainable reintegration of trafficked survivors both at family & societal level. In several cases, the organization had successfully build replicable model of community-based sustainable reintegration & in other also inspired different stakeholders to adopt community focused programming in their reintegration related errands. BNWLA followed specific steps during pre & post reintegration process.

The reintegration process starts through collection of information from different formal and informal sources regarding the survivor’s present status. 10 focal point of BNWLA, 42 partners, 30 down town legal aid clinic, law enforcing agencies, International NGOs, Networking NGOs in abroad, Foreign Mission in abroad, local community people, pimps and customer of different brothel, BNWLA members, direct and indirect beneficiaries of different project, media, few like minded organization and as well as the victimised women and survivorren - are the main source of information collection. Besides BNWLA has countrywide Hotline services and 24 hours open door unit to meet any emergencies and as well as it back BNWLA to gather any violence related information from any places. After data collection following initiatives are undertaken-
- Investigation, rescue and repatriation >
- Legal aid >
- Survival support > BNWLA provides basic needs support to the survivors including food, shelter, cloth, medication and other for meeting their survival needs.
- Developmental support >
- Psychological support >
- Reintegration support & communities involvement >

3. Lesson Learned : BNWLA had trace out following problems & lessons in existing reintegration process as well as in building community based sustainable reintegration mechanism building:
1. Problematic relationship between survivors and their family
2. Reluctance of the family members to participate in the family counseling
3. Disinclination of family members to return their survivors in their respective families

4. Good Practice : Community based care and protection is a unique model of BNWLA to address alternate care mechanisms and to ensure quality standard of care for survivors of trafficking. Under community based care & protection system- options for survivors' care and protection has been opened to community (means the community has full sovereignty to decide- how they protect integrated survivors from any crisis or how they support survivors etc.). Involvement of community care committees had ensured that the survivors, never faced any problem in the society and could restore the dignity, what s/he has loosen earlier due to negative consequences of trafficking. Community based care & protection system has been built such a way that, if the donor funding ceased in any reasons, there will be no fear that the community will not work for this purpose. Because the community care committees have now reached in an institutional shape and they by themselves can decide- how the sustainability of their works can be maintained. What BNWLA couldn’t do alone, that had been possible by the community. The community members are now playing great role in social mobilization and especially in the respective survivor’s family counseling.
