Over more than two decades, we built one of the only dedicated long term programmes in the country for this group. We combine direct protection, legal support, rehabilitation, and advocacy in one place.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The young people we work with are not hard to find. They are care leavers, survivors of gender based violence and trafficking, and youth in conflict with the law. Our own data shows that more than 40% of young people in conflict with the law are social orphans or care leavers, many of them trafficking survivors or victims of organised abuse. That connection between institutional neglect and exploitation shapes everything we do.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" style=\"text-align: left;\">What we do in practice is concrete. In 2025 alone, we provided direct assistance to more than 250 survivors of gender based violence and trafficking including case management, psychological counselling, humanitarian aid, and legal referrals. We trained more than 350 government officials and social workers on victim identification and trauma informed approaches under the National Referral Mechanism. Our awareness campaigns reached 1.5 million people through major Kyrgyz media outlets.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" style=\"text-align: left;\">We also run Bilim Belek, a programme launched in 2017 that removes the financial and systemic barriers keeping survivors out of education. Between 2023 and 2025, more than 200 young people from at risk groups accessed formal or vocational education through it. More than 60% of them are survivors of violence or trafficking.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Our work does not stop at direct services. Since 2015, we have used research and evidence to push for legal and policy change. We contributed to the 2022 reforms that increased criminal penalties for violence against children and closed loopholes that had let abusers avoid accountability for years. In 2025, we completed the first national study on child and forced marriage in Kyrgyzstan, covering 1000 surveys of girls from the most vulnerable groups, survivor interviews, and engagement with 9 crisis centres and government bodies.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\" style=\"text-align: left;\">We work closely with the Probation Department under the Ministry of Justice, the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Ministries of Labour, Social Development, and Education and Science.
