“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 inquired about the possibility of using the film as an educational tool. In Georgia, the specially adapted Georgian version of the film will continue to be used for training purposes. OSCE/Maria Kökçe 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. ODIHR 2019 29
