coalition

We strive to reduce the risks of people falling into situations of exploitation or violence. To this end, we conduct large-scale information campaigns every year that reach hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. An important element is 527 — the IOM National Hotline on Countering Human Trafficking and Migrant Advice, which provides qualified consultations on trafficking and migration issues.

In addition, the Coalition organizes information and awareness-raising events for local communities and at-risk groups, increasing understanding of the dangers of exploitation and trafficking in persons. We pay special attention to vulnerable populations, providing psychosocial support to strengthen their resilience to risks.

We support people who have survived human trafficking or experienced gender-based violence. Coalition members across the regions provide individualized, comprehensive assistance that considers the specific needs and life circumstances of survivors. This includes medical, psychological, and social support, accompaniment in state institutions, and protection of rights and interests. The assistance is both accessible and targeted — aimed at restoring each person’s dignity, safety, and opportunities.

We understand that sustainable solutions are possible only with strong and effective public policy. Therefore, the Coalition carries out public monitoring of the implementation of state policy in the areas of combating human trafficking and gender-based violence, and develops proposals for legislation and social service standards. An important area of work is conducting comprehensive training programs for key stakeholders — social workers, law enforcement officers, educators, medical professionals, and other specialists who directly deal with cases of exploitation or violence. We actively cooperate with international organizations and partners, integrating best practices into the national protection system.
