Combatting Trafficking in Persons in Uzbekistan.

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U. S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to combat human trafficking, including sex and labor trafficking, in Uzbekistan.

Despite the Government

credit:


of Uzbekistan’s increased efforts to combat Trafficking in Persons crimes, traffickers continue to exploit vulnerable populations, including women, children, and marginalized groups, for forced labor and sexual exploitation.

One of the critical barriers to effective enforcement in this area is the significant underreporting of incidents by victims.

In Uzbekistan many victims, due to fear of retaliation, lack of trust in the judicial system, cultural norms or a lack of awareness of their rights, are reluctant to come forward.

This lack of reporting hampers the ability of law enforcement agencies to accurately assess the scope of the problem, allocate resources effectively, and take appropriate action against perpetrators.

Consequently, without adequate victim reporting, enforcement efforts remain severely constrained, leading to a cycle of impunity that perpetuates the issue.

To address this issue, Uzbekistan should strengthen its reporting mechanisms, ensuring reporting systems are both victim-centered and culturally sensitive.

These systems should include mechanisms for anonymous reporting, comprehensive data collection, and regular assessments to ensure they are effectively capturing the extent of the issue.

This notice of funding opportunity aims to support innovative and sustainable projects that address these critical gaps.

Projects should focus on enhancing victim protection and assistance, strengthening law enforcement and judicial capacity, improving data collection and analysis, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration.

By addressing these key areas, we can collectively work towards reducing TIP in Uzbekistan.
