SICAR cat Program

Sicar cat is developing a legal assessment service for international protection and immigration law for female victims of human trafficking. 

Its primary concern consists of the detection of those potentially trafficked women, their access to the procedure of international protection, legal assistance and monitoring of the case throughout the procedure. In cases where victims are refused international protection, subsequent procedures in line with immigration law will be followed (article 59.bis).

Those organisations within the Asil.cat Network that offer this service are:

The ACSAR Foundation

(Through its legal service located in the Service Centre For Immigrants, Emigrants And Refugees, in the Barcelona City Council)
