A decree by the head of state has been signed concerning the fundamental improvement of the system for identifying persons affected by human trafficking and their integration into society. These additional measures are aimed at supporting victims of human trafficking.
According to this decree, institutions specializing in providing assistance to victims of human trafficking within the 'Inson' system and the National Agency for Social Protection, as well as non-governmental non-profit organizations, are granted the authority to conduct initial identification of such individuals.
Based on initial identification, the status of a person presumed to be a victim of human trafficking is provided for one month. The status of a recognized victim of human trafficking, established after final identification, is provided for a period of up to one year.
The deadline for the final identification of persons affected by human trafficking is set by regional commissions for combating human trafficking and labor rights within 10 days.
Starting from September 1, 2026, the Agency's trusted hotline '1146' will be launched to receive appeals from victims of human trafficking in Uzbekistan. Specialists will provide them with consultations and information on social, psychological, legal, and other issues.
Trust lines will also be launched in diplomatic and other representations of Uzbekistan abroad, as well as in consular institutions. These lines will provide consultations and information on social, psychological, legal, material, and other issues for victims of human trafficking.
Consultation bureaus for migration will be established at Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport and Samarkand International Airport, where migration funds will operate using artificial intelligence technologies.
