The HAPKE project aims to enhance the national assistance system for victims of human trafficking in Finland. It emphasizes a single entry point for services, enabling potential victims to access support easily. The project focuses on providing tailored assistance based on the victims' needs, including appropriate accommodation and care based on gender, age, and case specifics. It also highlights the importance of cooperation among government agencies, NGOs, and service providers to ensure effective support, especially for vulnerable asylum seekers and unaccompanied minors.
