Trafficking and abuses of people are serious human rights violations that affect millions of people around the world, especially women and girls. They are often subjected to forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of coercion and violence. At United Partners for Humanitarian Welfare (UPHWO), we are determined to fight against these crimes and to protect the victims.

We provide a range of services to prevent, protect, and recover from trafficking and abuses. These include:

• Awareness raising: We educate the public and the potential victims about the risks and signs of trafficking and abuses. We also raise awareness among the media, the policymakers, and the civil society about the magnitude and the impact of these issues.
• Identification: We help identify and rescue the victims of trafficking and abuses, in collaboration with the authorities and other partners. We also provide them with legal assistance and support them in their claims for justice and compensation.
• Protection: We offer safe and dignified shelter to the victims of trafficking and abuses, where they can receive medical care, counseling, and psychosocial support. We also ensure their safety and security, and respect their privacy and confidentiality.
• Recovery: We assist the victims of trafficking and abuses in their reintegration into society. We provide them with education, vocational training, and income-generating opportunities. We also help them reconnect with their families and communities, and rebuild their lives.

We also work to address the root causes and drivers of trafficking and abuses, such as poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunities. We empower the vulnerable groups, especially women and girls, to access their rights and opportunities. We also advocate for the improvement of the legal and policy frameworks to prevent and combat trafficking and abuses, and to hold the perpetrators accountable.

We are not just an organization, we are a movement. We are united by our passion and commitment to fight against trafficking and abuses, and to protect the dignity and freedom of every human being. Join us today and help us make a difference in the lives of the people in Burundi.
