The members of the regional rescue operations team of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office IV-A were capacitated on the rescue operations as well as protocols in handling victim-survivors of human trafficking from October 23-25 in Las Piñas City.

The regional rescue operations team, composed of social workers and other staff of the DSWD, work hand-in-hand with the law enforcement agencies, in protecting and assisting victim-survivors during and after rescue operations.

The capacity building of the members of the team is part of the continuous efforts of the DSWD to ensure that victim-survivors are provided with proper and appropriate interventions from their rescue towards their reintegration to their respective communities. [with reports from AKLLigeralde]
