Anti-trafficking Campaign for Safe Migration
Migrating to find work, whether domestically or abroad, has become a fact of life for many communities. Every year, workers strike out, find jobs in various fields, and send back money in amounts they could never make back home. But looking for work in foreign lands continues to be very risky, in part because of a lack of adequate and accurate information about the potential dangers and the reality of trafficking.

by Siriporn Skrobanek / Foundation For Women


Human trafficking is one form of human tragedy

women and children. It is a reflection of unequal relationship between the rich
and the poor, women and men, developed and developing countries.
