Sovann Phoum NGO shared their experiences on Preventing Human Trafficking and Risky Migration Through Livelihood Development in the consultative workshop supported by USAID funded project implemented by Winrock International.
Poverty motivates hundreds of thousands of Cambodians to migrate every month in search of employment opportunities. Many of those who leave are uneducated and have limited access to information, which makes them particularly vulnerable to human traffickers. Targeted at provinces with high prevalence of trafficking, this four-year program seeks to prevent trafficking through livelihood development, awareness raising, effective prosecution of traffickers, and repatriation and reintegration support for survivors of trafficking.
