The ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), in partnership with ASEAN-ACT, has developed human rights-based counter trafficking materials in consultation with government and non-government practitioners across the region.

A training guide has been developed specifically to assist police to prevent and respond to trafficking in persons at the community level. Community policing can be an effective approach to address different aspects of trafficking in persons - it helps to build partnerships between law enforcement, NGOs and community leaders, and to strengthen the whole-of-society responses to trafficking.

A training manual for frontliners on human rights, gender-sensitive and child-friendly approaches to trafficking in persons has also been developed. This manual includes practical guidance and training exercises to apply human rights-based, gender-sensitive, and child-friendly approaches when handling human trafficking cases.

These resources complement the work of other ASEAN sectoral bodies and contribute to the implementation of the Bohol TIP Work Plan and its successor.

These resources can be accessed on the AICHR site.
