The United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (UNVTF) was established in July 2010 by the UN General Assembly, through Resolution 64/293, endorsing the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. Administered by UNODC, the Trust Fund's mandate is to provide humanitarian, legal and financial aid to victims of trafficking in persons through the awarding of multi-year grants to specialized, in-situ, civil society organisations (CSOs), who are on the frontlines of tackling human trafficking. It is the only UN-level multilateral funding mechanism that supports victims of human trafficking.
Since its establishment, the Trust Fund has directly supported over 90,000 victims of human trafficking through at least 190 CSO projects across more than 60 countries. The support for victims of human trafficking is enabled through generous contributions from governments, private sector, foundations, and individuals. A donation to the UNVTF provides invaluable assistance to victims, including shelter, food, medical care, legal aid, access to justice, psychosocial support, and vocational trainings.
