ITALIAN GROUP USES 'STREET UNITS' TO PROTECT VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING / One World, 24 Aug 2005

"TAMPEP's approach is to send out unita di strada (street units) that include 'cultural mediators' from the same background as the trafficked women and girls. The units seek out likely victims of trafficking, like Jessica, and offer them health education and testing. Once inside the privacy of a health clinic, social workers set out the woman's rights and options."
