HUG Project’s Role in Combating Child Sex Trafficking through Capacity Building of Law Enforcement

The HUG Project Thailand plays a critical role in protecting children from sex trafficking by empowering and equipping law enforcement agencies to effectively identify, prevent, and respond to cases of child exploitation. Through a multifaceted approach centered on capacity building, the organization bridges gaps in knowledge, coordination, and victim-centered practices, significantly enhancing the response to child sex trafficking in Thailand.

 

A core element of the HUG Project’s strategy involves delivering specialized training programs to police officers, prosecutors, and other justice system personnel. These trainings focus on trauma-informed care, child-sensitive interviewing techniques (child forensic interview), digital evidence handling, and the psychological dynamics of trafficking victims. 

 

Collaboration is a key component of HUG’s methodology. The organization partners closely with Thailand’s Royal Police and public prosecutors, fostering cross-agency coordination and intelligence sharing. This holistic network enables timely interventions and the dismantling of trafficking networks, particularly those operating online—a growing avenue of exploitation.

 

In addition to technical training, the HUG Project promotes structural change by helping to develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) that prioritize the protection of victims’ rights during investigations. This includes safeguarding the mental and physical well-being of children through proper case management and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) approaches, which bring together social workers, legal experts, and medical personnel in unified support of the child.

Through its capacity-building initiatives, the HUG Project has transformed the way law enforcement agencies address child sex trafficking—from reactive to proactive, from fragmented to collaborative, and from punitive to protective. As a result, not only are more victims rescued and offenders prosecuted, but systemic resilience against child exploitation is steadily being established.
