In 2022, MWL has its outreach in six regions of Albania: Tropoja (Kukes), Puka (Shkoder), Lezha and Rreshen (Lezha), Tirana, Lushnja, and Saranda through established Advice and Service Ccentres (ASCs) and Youth Centres. The ASCs combat human trafficking through rescue, reintegration, rehabilitation, and prevention.
MWL joined the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) in Albania in October 2018, to contribute to the protection of the rights of potential and survivor victims of trafficking and to help the formation of policies and structures to end modern-day slavery. MWL also works with URAT, a network of organisations within Albania, working together against human trafficking; and RENATE (Religious and co-workers in Europe Networking against Trafficking and Exploitation).
The projects funded by Misean Cara, IBVM Loreto, Medaille Trust, Healing Hands (DoTerra), UNDP, Fonds Pour Les Femmes En Mediterranee, seek to reduce the vulnerability of young Albanian women and men to human trafficking and crime through social and tailored Empowerment Programmes for sustainability. These are community-focused interventions in multiple areas with a three-pronged approach.
