The history of the Coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations Against Human Trafficking in Ukraine spans over 14 years of dedicated joint efforts to ensure that everyone affected by human trafficking, exploitation, or gender-based violence receives support, comprehensive assistance, and a chance to rebuild their lives.
Our journey is marked by thousands of stories of adults and children who have faced deception, cruelty, coercion, or loss of freedom. Each story has become our motivation to improve a protection system that works not only to respond but also to prevent new cases.
