The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

This 24-minute documentary, filmed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, focuses on the transnational trafficking of women in South Eastern Europe. It is co-produced by Zeljak Lekic and by Eurovision News Exchange for South East Europe (ERNO) and supported by United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

According to this film, Albania, Bulgaria and Romania are the primary countries of origin of the 5,203 victims of trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation identified and assisted between January 2000 and June 2003. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo are primary transit and destination countries. According to UNESCO information, governmental authorities show little interest in these victims. Trafficking has moved more underground, and patterns are becoming trans-national and composed of multi-ethnic networks.
