To provide assistance and protection to victims of human trafficking, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan establishes specialized institutions for victim support and protection (hereinafter referred to as "specialized institutions").
The primary functions of these specialized institutions include:
Providing victims and suspected victims of human trafficking with safe living conditions and personal hygiene products;
Supplying victims and suspected victims of human trafficking with food, medicines, and medical supplies;
Offering urgent medical, psychological, social, legal, and other forms of assistance to victims and suspected victims of human trafficking;
Ensuring the safety of victims and suspected victims of human trafficking;
Assisting victims and suspected victims of human trafficking in reestablishing contact with their relatives;
Informing victims and suspected victims of human trafficking about their rights and legal interests;
Supporting the social rehabilitation and reintegration of victims of human trafficking.
Specialized institutions operate in accordance with regulations approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The social rehabilitation and adaptation of victims of human trafficking aim to restore their ability to lead a normal life.
This process includes:
Providing financial assistance during their stay in specialized institutions;
Offering temporary housing, food, hygiene products, and, when necessary, clothing, footwear, and other essential items;
Assisting in employment, education, career counseling, and vocational training or retraining;
Supporting social reintegration, including efforts to locate family members;
Organizing programs designed for social rehabilitation and adaptation, as well as preventing victims from being re-exploited in human trafficking crimes.
Social rehabilitation and adaptation are carried out based on an individualized plan, approved by the territorial commission, for each victim of human trafficking.
A victim’s refusal to participate in criminal proceedings does not deprive them of the right to receive assistance until their social rehabilitation and adaptation are complete.
The costs of social rehabilitation and adaptation for victims of human trafficking are covered by the State Budget of the Republic of Uzbek
The procedure for implementing social rehabilitation and adaptation measures is determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The prevention of child trafficking includes:
Identifying parents or guardians who neglect their responsibilities in raising children;
Detecting families engaged in antisocial behavior and children in need of state protection to provide necessary assistance;
Monitoring the activities of orphanages and maternity hospitals.
Other preventive measures may be implemented in accordance with national legislation.

The identification of a child victim or suspected child victim of human trafficking must take place in a specially equipped room with the use of technical recording devices. This process must be conducted in the presence of a legal representative and/or a representative from the guardianship and trusteeship authority, with the mandatory participation of a psychologist, and must take into account the child's gender, age, and other individual characteristics.

A decision recognizing a minor as a victim or suspected victim of human trafficking is made regardless of their consent. However, for minors aged sixteen and above, their voluntary consent is required. This decision is based on the request of a legal representative, a guardianship and trusteeship authority representative, or representatives of a relevant specialized institution.
