What?

FIZ develops and conducts further education and professional training programs.

In the further education programs, we explain marginalization and exploitation mechanisms, and demonstrate approaches for recognizing and improving the protection of those affected by the trafficking in women/human trafficking. Professional training courses include practical exercises for concrete situations in your everyday professional life. Further education and professional training programs are designed to meet the needs of the client.
