Between August - December 2005, the programme of national interest Reintegrate and Support Repatriated or Trafficking Victim Children was carried out in the counties of Bistrita Nasaud, Maramures, Satu Mare and Salaj. In every county, services were developed to benefit the project beneficiaries.

The project comes as a solution to the worrying state of Romanian minors migrating abroad. The number of legal or illegal migrants to Western Europe has risen significantly in the last years and this phenomenon has spread to new regions of the country. An increasing number of unaccompanied children go to the West, at an even younger age than before. These children often end up in appalling conditions and commit crimes.

The child protection authorities and NGO's worked together in programmes of national interest to prevent the risks of unaccompanied child migration, to cut back this phenomenon and break the silence as to the difficult circumstances Romanian children get into abroad. As these children's rights to grow up in a family and get an education to their potential are violated, the project activities had clear children's rights-based objectives:

1. Develop the existing specialised social services from the counties of Bistrita Nasaud, Salaj and Satu Mare which target children at risk of migration or of being trafficked or that are to be repatriated.
2. Facilitate child protection authorities' involvement in reintegrating and supporting repatriated children and in child migration and trafficking prevention.
3. Set partnerships with national and international institutions and NGO's fighting child migration and trafficking.
4. Raise awareness of child migration risks and means of fighting child trafficking in the counties of Bistrita Nasaud, Maramures, Salaj and Satu Mare.

In every county, staff was hired and trained to deliver proper services to repatriated children and inter-institutional task forces were set up. Among the project outcomes we could name an exchange of experience held in France, partnerships with local authorities and NGO's, mass-media campaign, information meetings held in schools and legal guidelines on child migration and trafficking.

In 2005, FRCCF ran a project of national interest - Reintegrate and Support Repatriated or Trafficking Victim Children from the Counties of Maramures, Satu Mare, Bistrita Nasaud and Salaj. The project aimed at improving the future of the migrated children who got used abroad because of their naiveté and vulnerability.
