Ina Hut, CEO of CoMensha, says goodbye

Ina Hut, director of CoMensha, has decided to say goodbye after a period of more than eight years. She will take on other challenges as of 1 May. Ina has been director of CoMensha since 2015.

As director of CoMensha, Ina has made an important contribution to the positioning of CoMensha and to raising awareness and putting the approach to human trafficking on the agenda in the Netherlands. Under her leadership, CoMensha has managed to put itself on the map as a solid and connecting partner in chain cooperation. Her vision, tireless effort and dedication will be missed within the organization and in the field.

Ina: 'Although I made this choice very consciously, I also leave the organization and the field with a heavy heart. I have committed myself with heart and soul to CoMensha and to the victims of human trafficking. I have also always appreciated the cooperation with the chain partners. There is a solid CoMensha, with a professional and involved team. I am confident that my successor will continue on this path. Every goodbye is a new beginning. I am going to set up my own fund that will invest in initiatives that realize social impact, for example through micro-credits. In addition, I will remain active in the field with a number of supervisory and advisory positions.'

The Supervisory Board: 'We respect Ina's decision and express our appreciation for her efforts and involvement over the past eight years. We also thank Ina for the way in which she has guided and led CoMensha in recent years. We wish her all the best in her next phase. We are pleased that the follow-up has now been arranged, which guarantees continuity.'

Conny Rijken, National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children: 'Under Ina's leadership, CoMensha has become a professional organization with a clear role for the care of victims of human trafficking. With her enormous efforts over the past eight years, she has put human trafficking firmly on the map, further enriched our knowledge of human trafficking and brought parties together.'

Succession

Ina will be succeeded on 1 May by Victor Jammers, currently still head of the Victims Violence Youth Care department of the Violent Offenses Compensation Fund and formerly a member of the Board of Directors of Victim Support Netherlands.
