Brief Description

To address trafficking in persons in the country, Kenya has established the National Assistance Trust Fund for trafficking in Persons to provide assistance to victims of trafficking in persons through rescue, screening, referrals, legal assistance, repatriation, economic empowerment and reintegration. During the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the National Treasury allocated 20 million Ksh ($162,270) to the National Assistance Trust Fund for Assisting Victims of Trafficking, the same amount as the previous fiscal year. The government disbursed more than 7.6 million Ksh ($62,270) from the fund to provide direct victim services, including repatriation assistance, basic needs, and reintegration support, as well as support to NGOs. The Fund was able to repatriate 15 Kenyans who had been trafficked to Laos and Turkey for cybercrimes and sexual exploitation while 36 survivors trafficked to the gulf countries as domestic workers were provided with economic empowerment.
