Our work

EXIST works to stop human trafficking

A global problem requires local action

Human trafficking is today the fastest growing crime worldwide and constitutes a serious violation of basic human rights.
EXIST is convinced that every human being is unique, irreplaceable and possesses unlimited value in themselves. Therefore, we work actively in Denmark and in Nigeria
to prevent and combat this form of crime.

Rehabilitation, film and community

EXIST has been working in Nigeria since 2009 in collaboration with MeCAHT. From our first joint film "Europe in My Heart", to safehouses and education — we are present and creating lasting change.

Safehouses — safe environments for women who want to leave prostitution behind, with rehabilitation programs and education
Film and documentary — "Europe in My Heart" screened in 30 villages, at 3 state leaders' conferences and on national TV. "I Wish I Knew" screened at Cinemateket
Monitoring — 2-3 annual monitoring trips to Nigeria to strengthen partnerships and networks
Our approach

Three areas of focus — one common fight

Information and prevention

We provide broad information about human trafficking and combat the ignorance that gives the perpetrators free rein.

Rehabilitation and reintegration

We support survivors with a safe environment, care and the tools they need for a new life.

Competence development and capacity building

We educate, empower and build capacity — among survivors, volunteers and partners.

Do you want to be part of the change?

You can contribute to the fight against human trafficking — as a volunteer, as a supporter, or by spreading the message.
