Paragraph
Paragraph text
There are other positive multi-stakeholder initiatives led by international organizations. For example, the International Organization for Migration has successfully supported and promoted public-private partnerships in India, engaging the private sector, the Government and non-governmental organizations. The partnerships focused on creating economic enterprises and providing employment opportunities to tackle the root causes of trafficking and irregular migration, such as poverty and lack of educational and livelihood opportunities, and to assist the victims of trafficking in recovery. They have reached out to more than 600 survivors, involved 20 corporations and 20 non-governmental organizations and garnered the support of local governments and law enforcement agencies. They have successfully led to the establishment of economic enterprises that provided employment opportunities for trafficked persons, including a mechanized laundry unit in Goa known as "Swift Wash", supported by various companies and the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
