Kristina Misiniene of Lithuania was given a TIP Report Hero award in 2006. Her organization, CARITAS Lithuania, is headquartered in Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania. Just inside the old town, down some cobble stone streets and past the main square, lies the catholic archdiocese and several buildings which house offices, including those of CARITAS Lithuania. She is a social worker by trade, and works heavily with survivors of trafficking. Many survivors are Lithuanians who have been trafficked abroad to destinations such as the UK, or Norway. She helps them try to put their lives back together financially, personally, psychologically, and in any other way they can. Her team consists of incredible and dedicated women who tirelessly help the survivors that come through their doors. Learn more about Kristina on her page.
