“Addressing the pervasive vulnerabilities of the girl child is essential to
preventing trafficking and all other forms of exploitation of girls within
the OSCE region. Governments need to take action to ensure that the
next generation of girls does not become a new generation of victims of
trafficking.”
— Shandra Woworuntu, Survivor and Founder of Mentari speaking at an ODIHR screening
Uzbekistan, led to a request from the Republic of
Uzbekistan for further assistance from ODIHR to
provide recommendations for draft anti-trafficking
legislation.
Several participating States, as well as other organizations and institutions including the EU Agency
for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), have

ODIHR has assisted participating States in
creating national referral mechanisms, which are
co-operative frameworks for governments to use
in order to identify, protect and help victims of trafficking to access justice and effective remedies,
including compensation.ODIHR also presented its
recommendations on strengthening national referral mechanisms in Uzbekistan, which were the
result of increased co-operation between ODIHR
and the national authorities. This took the form of
a series of awareness raising, capacity building
and policy advice activities with the purpose of
strengthening the country’s anti-trafficking efforts.
