    This document outlines the creation of Local Committees on Anti-Trafficking and Violence Against Women and Children (LCAT-VAWC) to coordinate efforts at the local level to implement national laws protecting women and children from violence and human trafficking. Key points include that LCAT-VAWCs will combine separate anti-trafficking and anti-violence committees to maximize resources and prevent duplication, and that they are tasked with prevention, protection, recovery, and reintegration of victims as well as education, monitoring, and coordination between government and non-government actors. LCAT-VAWCs are established at the provincial and city/municipal levels and link up to regional and national coordination bodies.
