Anya Gorovets and Transnational AIDS Prevention among Migrant Prostitutes in Europe Project (TAMPEP)
As a first year student at Hunter College School of Social Work in New York City, Anya is working toward her Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Community Organizing. After graduating with a BA in English with a Philosophy minor from the University of Buffalo (2003), she went on to travel in Europe, teach English in Prague, work as a tutor, and manage educational conferences with a not-for-profit in Washington, DC. Anya is committed to enriching her perspective on global issues affecting women and children and is dedicated to promoting liberty through community organizing and education and working with people to transform systems of violence and oppression.
This year, Anya will work as a Volunteer Field Consultant with The Advocacy Project's peace and human rights ally, TAMPEP (Transnational AIDS and Migrant Prostitutes in Europe Project), in Turin, Italy. TAMPEP works to prevent and protect victims of human trafficking. Anya will support the NGO in its efforts to identify and reach out to trafficked women and children, and to provide comprehensive services and safe alternatives. The goal is to eradicate the violent, sexual exploitation of women and children.
Anya's objectives are to increase TAMPEP's capacity to compile and distribute information, and to facilitate a network of support and information exchange between organizations in Italy, the United States, and Africa. This will be achieved through research, reports, proposals, expansion of TAMPEPs web-communication and direct collaboration with US-based organizations.
