SUBJECT: CHILE: TIP PROPOSAL FOR ESF FUNDING IN 2006 
 
REF: A. SANTIAGO 218 
 
     B. 05 STATE 221418 
 
1. In response to ref B, Post proposes the USG fund a series 
of professional education workshops for public officials and 
local activists in all regions of Chile with ports or major 
land-border crossings.  The project would help prevent 
trafficking in persons (TIP) in Chile and would also raise 
awareness.  This project, at an estimated cost of USD 80,000, 
would be coordinated through the National Women's Service 
(SERNAM) and the Ministry of Interior.  It would build on 
recent successful seminars conducted in Arica and Iquique in 
northern Chile. 
 
2. While Chile has professional and well-developed law 
enforcement and social service capabilities, not all Chilean 
government officials and social services professionals 
consider TIP a significant problem.  That being said, the GOC 
took several major steps in 2005 toward improving its 
anti-TIP efforts, including naming a national coordinator in 
the Interior Ministry and ratifying the Additional Protocol 
to Suppress, Prevent and Punish the Trafficking in Persons, 
Especially Women and Children.  In the past six months, Chile 
has detected several trafficking operations, arrested 
perpetrators and provided protection and support services to 
the victims.  Criminal prosecutions in these cases are 
ongoing.  Also, at least two of President-elect Bachelet's 
cabinet-level appointees have held senior positions at SERNAM 
(ref A) and should be knowledgable about TIP-related issues 
in Chile. 
 
----------------------------- 
Training and Awareness of TIP 
----------------------------- 
 
3. Post proposes funding a program to provide awareness 
training and an understanding of already-existing laws for 
prosecuting trafficking offenses.  Also included would be 
training on current mechanisms for protecting and supporting 
victims for local officials and activists in the six regions 
with highest population and international ports or border 
crossings: Tarapaca (Arica and Iquique), Antofagasta, 
Valparaiso, Metropolitan Region (Santiago), Araucania 
(Temuco), and Los Lagos (Puerto Montt).  This would be an 
extension of the multi-phase Prevention of Trafficking in 
Persons Project, which provides education to the Chilean 
public on trafficking in persons, technical training for law 
enforcement and the judiciary and assistance in developing a 
victim support infrastructure. 
 
4. Although the number of cross-border trafficking cases in 
Chile appears to be relatively small, there have been a 
handful of documented cases of Chilean women trafficked to 
work in neighboring countries and in Japan.  They were 
enticed with promises of high-paying jobs and were were 
subsequently forced into prostitution.  There is anecdotal 
evidence that some of the young women involved in 
prostitution within Chile may have entered the country under 
similar circumstances.  An ILO-funded study by SENAME (the 
National Minors' Service) and Arcis University estimated that 
some 3,700 adolescents and children were involved in 
prostitution in Chile in 2002-2003.  Chilean consular 
authorities in 2001 detected a scheme whereby young women in 
the Philippines obtained Chilean visas for onward travel to 
Peru, where investigating Chilean authorities lost track of 
them.  Clearly, some trafficking occurs into and through 
Chile, although it is difficult to estimate the scale of the 
problem.  Increasing awareness among front-line GOC 
authorities at the regional and municipal level, and within 
relevant NGOs, would improve prevention and prosecution of 
TIP cases in Chile, as well as improve the protection of TIP 
victims. 
 
5. The Trafficking Training for Officials and Public 
Awareness Project proposal follows in reftel format: 
 
A.  Title of Project:  Training for Officials and Public 
Awareness of Trafficking of Persons in Chile 
 
B.  Name of Recipient Organization/Government Agency:  SERNAM 
and Interior Ministry. 
 
C.  Duration of Project: Project completion deadline would be 
twelve months from start date.  This is a continuation of a 
project financed with FY 2004 ESF funds. 
 
D.  Description: This project would promote an effective 
response to TIP cases in high-risk areas of Chile.  Training 
local officials and activists would increase awareness of 
what constitutes trafficking; ensure that authorities and 
advocates understand the legal remedies; and mobilize 
official and private support networks for victims.  The 
project would hold separate workshops for local officials and 
NGOs in the major cities of the First, Second, Fifth, Ninth 
and Tenth Regions of Chile, as well as the Metropolitan 
Region comprised of Santiago and its satellite communities. 
Training for local government officials and police would 
cover existing laws and administrative tools for detecting 
and prosecuting trafficking activity, plus mechanisms for 
protecting victims (safe houses, psychological counseling, 
medical services).  Training for community groups and NGOs 
would focus on what constitutes trafficking, the legal rights 
of victims and how to report potential incidents of 
trafficking. 
 
E.  Justification: Although Chile lacks reliable statistics 
on the extent of TIP within its borders, government and 
police authorities are currently investigating three 
trafficking rings.  Embassy-funded TIP seminars held in 
January 2006 in Iquique and Arica drew over 100 local 
government and police officials, and more than 80 
representatives of NGOs and community groups.  Post overcame 
the initial reluctance of some GOC authorities, who did not 
want TIP publicly discussed before the GOC had developed its 
own national strategy. Feedback from these events, including 
from GOC officials, has been universally positive, creating 
momentum for a broader project.  Increasing awareness of TIP, 
existing anti-TIP laws and victims' rights will lead to 
improved prevention, prosecution of TIP-related crimes and 
ultimately the protection of victims in Chile. 
 
F.  Performance Indicators: Completion of two seminars with 
participation by appropriate local government and police 
officials in all six targeted regions.  Completion of two 
seminars with participation by local NGOs and activists in 
all six targeted regions.  Media coverage and broader 
TIP-awareness programs sponsored directly by the GOC in out 
years. 
 
G.  Evaluation Plan: Post will review progress with SERNAM on 
a quarterly basis.  Proposed milestones: Q1 - implementing 
organization(s) chosen and work plan approved; Q2 - workshops 
underway, conducted in three regions; Q3 - workshops continue 
in remaining three regions; Q4 - SERNAM publishes a report on 
the workshops and develops a plan to offer similar programs 
in 2007. 
 
H.  Post estimates program costs at approximately USD 80,000 
as follows: 
 
USD 18,500 -- Administrative costs, including project 
coordinator (USD 9,000), office supplies and other routine 
costs 
. 
 
USD 39,000 -- Workshop/seminar costs, including trainers, 
venue costs, lodging for regional participants, workshop 
materials and travel. 
 
USD 19,500 -- Publicity campaign, including design, printing, 
distribution and advertising. 
 
USD  3,000 -- Incidentals and contingencies. 
 
A more detailed budget breakout will be created pending 
completion of preliminary program design. 
 
I.  Type and amount of host government contribution: The GOC 
will provide in-kind services to support this project, 
including but not limited to clerical and professional staff 
support; available office space and conference facilities; 
office supplies; editing of final report; and, web-hosting of 
final report.  Initial estimate of the value of GOC support 
is USD 20,000. 
 
J.  Proposed funding mechanism: Use of ESF funds.  This 
project would be funded as an amendment to Post's bilateral 
letter of agreement (LOA).
