RENATE Annual Report 2024

On behalf of the RENATE Working Board, Core Group, and Co-Presidents, we are pleased to share with you the RENATE Annual Report for 2024.

This report offers a snapshot of the diverse and meaningful work taking place across the RENATE Network during what has been yet another action-packed year. From powerful new film launches and the release of our Shelters & Safe Housesbooklet, to the unveiling of the Law Task Group’s groundbreaking research, 2024/25 has seen an extraordinary breadth of activity.

Highlights from the year include:

• The publication of the research report “Legal Practitioners’ Work with Victims of Human Trafficking: Training Required and Resources Available” launched on 4 July, covering five countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
• Continued representation at the Council of Europe through the Conference of INGOs.
• Participation in CSW68 via an online webinar event.
• Multiple training events and spiritual retreats for RENATE members.
• The strengthening of survivor leadership through new empowerment programmes.
• Deepening collaboration with our global partners, including Talitha Kum and the UISG.
• Ongoing Working Board and Task Group meetings, as well as countless national and international collaborations across the network.

All this work is being carried out against the backdrop of increasing global unrest and the evolving, complex nature of human trafficking.

We invite you to read the full Annual Report to gain insight into the scale and impact of your contributions. The report is a testament to the commitment and resilience of each and every member of the RENATE network. While it offers a glimpse into the year’s work, much more is regularly featured on our website at www.renate-europe.net, in our Quarterly Newsletters, and other communications, thanks to the steady stream of updates and content shared by you, our members.

Most of all, it is you, in your presence, passion, and tireless dedication, who best represent the heart of RENATE’s mission.

With heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you.
