Shuhail advised victims of human trafficking who may be staying illegally in the country or who have become involved in other crimes not to fear contacting the centres so they can get help.

The centre in Abu Dhabi, and two other branches in Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, were established in 2008 within the framework of the UAE?s efforts to combat human trafficking.

The Executive Director mentioned that a new shelter for male human trafficking victims will open in the capital next year.
