UNIAP granted 130,000 Euros to tackle human trafficking in Thailand and Cambodia

By The Nation

Germany has granted 130,000 Euros to UN's Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking (UNIAP) to put into action immediate interventions to measure and address increases in human trafficking and exploitation in Cambodia and Thailand as a result of the global financial crisis.

Interventions will be based on in-depth investigations and analysis of the impact of the global economic crisis on employment, exploitative working conditions and job brokering, unsafe migration, remittances, family welfare, school drop-out, and child labour.

The lessons learned from this work will offer insights into how to develop a regional action plan to reduce the negative impacts of the current global financial crisis on migrants, rural families, and others vulnerable to exploitation and trafficking.
