The government is trying to identify and protect any victims of trafficking of any sort. “The government reported identifying 36 potential trafficking victims, 15 of whom it referred to the government-run shelter, an increase from five in the previous reporting period. The government repatriated the remaining 21 victims to their respective countries of origin”

“During the reporting period, the government operated, and allocated 191,860 Omani rial ($498,350) to its permanent shelter, which could accommodate up to 50 women and child victims of forced labor or sex trafficking.” These shelters offered help of all kind. For example, “lodging, psychological counseling, legal support, monetary stipends, rehabilitation activities, and medical care to victims.”

The government does not provide those shelter services to male victims.
