In this video, Saverio Tommasi, a journalist for the Fanpage newspaper, describes human trafficking and the work On the Road does every day in a sensitive and attentive way.

We are extremely pleased to inform you that for the second year in a row, the UNCHR, the UN Refugee Agency, has decided to award our Cooperative the WeWelcome logo for the year 2020-2021. On the Road is honoured to receive this award in recognition of our commitment to promoting specific interventions to assist refugees in finding employment.

The trafficking experience often inflicts complex layers of trauma on survivors. The abuse these people endured may have affected their sense of self and those surrounding them, often resulting in pervasive mistrust of others and interrupting their ability to have healthy interpersonal relationships. Establishing a relationship of trust with a buddy can help victims in their recovery and reintegration. In this context,  five civil society organizations from Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Spain developed mentoring programs for victims of human trafficking within the project LIBES – Life Beyond the Shelter.

During the conclusion of the project, On the Road Cooperative organized an online final conference on Zoom, on 16 September 2021, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. From the story of the project LIfe BEyond the Shelter (LIBES): long-term support for victims of trafficking transitioning from shelter life to independence and its results, the conference means to be an opportunity for discussing about life beyond the shelter and future perspectives on integration for victims of trafficking.

We have started this adventure ten years ago, opening the doors of an empty space behind the Pescara railway station. Today, that same empty space overflows with life and stories. Year after year we entered the fabric of the city of Pescara, its underground, its hidden beds, and its non-places, in an attempt to bring a new voice and a different possibility.

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25th, we presented the “Free Women” natural cotton tote bags.

We met Blessing along the Bonifica del Tronto area.
She was prostituting herself, along with many other girls we meet every day during our fieldwork. It’s also thanks to your help that girls like Blessing can escape the exploitation networks, regaining their confidence and taking back their lives.

We met Paolo in the street. But Paolo now is free.
