In order to enhance the public's awareness of the issue of human trafficking and strengthen the

awareness of the rights and interests of foreigners, two training courses on prevention of labor ex-
ploitation and digital/network gender violence were held, anti-trafficking promotional materials were
produced and distributed, anti-trafficking promotional posters were posted at 12 passenger service

stations at the Taiwan High Speed Railway, and a short video, “The End of the Bad Wolves," on the
prevention of human trafficking was broadcast on the smart panel at the Taipei City Public Transpor-

In cooperation with civil society organizations, the NIA and the Ministry of Labor have built shel-

ters for the victims of human trafficking to protect their personal safety, and provided them with

accompanying the victims to police/court proceedings. A total of 49 new foreign victims received
sheltering and protection services in 2022.
