Seminars, roundtables to discuss access of victims of trafficking to special social services) and includes discussions of a wide range of issues related to the recent amendments to the Law On Special Social Services adopted by the Government of Kazakhstan in February 2014, which includes the provision of assistance to citizens in difficult situations as a result of cruel treatment leading to social exclusion and deprivation.
