This is an opportunity provided by the Reporting on Trafficking and Slavery programme: Find out more
The Thomson Reuters Foundation together with the Global Leadership Academy and the GIZ Sector Programme on Gender Equality and Women’s Rights are launching a leadership and innovation Lab “Unveil the Hidden Presence: Trafficking in Women and Children”. The Lab will bring together about 30 high-ranking participants from governments, media, business, academia, and civil society. It will work on approaches to increase awareness on, and prevent trafficking in women and children with aspecific focus on the African context.
What commitment is required?
The Lab process will take place between April and December 2018. It is essential that participants ensure their availability at the two face-to face modules:
Module 1: Nairobi, Kenya: 25th to 28th June, 2018
Module 2: London, United Kingdom: 10th to 13th November, 2018
In addition they will be expected to engage in some ongoing activities between the meetings to develop and implement transformative actions.
The second Lab meeting is followed by the Trust conference (www.trustconference.com), which is the world’s leading global conference to end modern slavery and put the rule of law behind human rights. It may be used as a leverage for joint activities.
Who Can Apply
In terms of journalists, the programme is looking for participants who:
• Have a strong motivation to investigate and report on human trafficking
• Are strongly motivated to help transform existing paradigms
• Are open to different and new ways of thinking
• Are interested in developing personally

Course Logistics
All costs for the coaching, and the meetings including facilitation, and meals during the meetings are covered.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted in April.
