“Urban model community initiative: despite the external challenges experienced in port-au-prince in fy2021, beyond borders worked to strengthen the capacity of eight survivor restavk networks (srn) groups and other activists primarily through training and ongoing coaching. Beyond borders also worked to strengthen existing local and national mobilization efforts by facilitating several advocacy-focused engagement opportunities to broaden the awareness of legislation that upholds the protection of children. Beyond borders and members of the urban adult survivor network teamed up with a law firm to prepare and perform the first ever mock trial on what a trial to prosecute a perpetrator of restavk might look like. The trial was filmed with the idea to explore ways to create an awareness-raising tool that can be used with various audiences. Beyond borders intervened in several cases of children being exploited in a restavk situation, supporting family reunification when and where possible. Additionally, bb ensured support to other children as needed, accompanying them as needed, to doctors' visits, court appointments, and other necessary support to help them begin their restorative journey to healing.”
