USAID commissioned an assessment of trafficking in persons prevention activities in the Europe and Eurasia region in order to develop a framework for trafficking prevention programs in the future. This report analyzes information gleaned from a review of existing documentation -- project reports, evaluations, research, and the like -- as well as information gathered during brief assessment missions to three countries of the region: Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. Although the study was limited by the information and time available, it found significant changes as a result of several years of counter-trafficking prevention programming in parts of Europe and Eurasia.

This paper is one of several analytical documents synthesizing the findings across Promoting Women in Development (PROWID) projects and their implications within various themes; this paper's theme is domestic violence against women. Eleven PROWID projects focused upon domestic violence: three research and intervention projects were facilitated by non-governmental organizations in Russia, Bulgaria and Mexico, and eight research studies were undertaken in India. As a whole, these diverse projects generated some common conclusions regarding the problem of domestic violence.
