Human Trafficking in Cambodia by Chenda Keo Pdf

Reporting the findings of a comprehensive study of human trafficking in Cambodia, this book focuses on the characteristics and operations of the traffickers. It provides a theoretical framework that explains the emergence of the phenomenon, and the role of moral panic and western hegemony in the war on human trafficking. Using a multi-method and multi-source research design, which includes an examination of police and prison records as well as interviews with 91 incarcerated human traffickers, police and prison officers, court officials, and members of NGOs, this book investigates five major themes about human traffickers in Cambodia: who are they, how do they operate, how much profit do they make, why are they involved in human trafficking, and how does the Cambodian Criminal Justice System (CJS) control their activities? A novel and unique analysis, this book is of interest to a wide academic audience in the fields of Asian Studies, Human Trafficking, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Human Geography and Critical Legal Studies.

Trafficking and Sex Work in Cambodia by Larissa Sandy Pdf

Cambodia has long been identified as a human trafficking hotspot and, after sustained pressure from the US and other governments, in February 2008 the Cambodian government promulgated its Law on the Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation. This law equates sex work with human trafficking and has led to the criminalisation of sex work in Cambodia. This book shows how policies to combat human trafficking and regulate sex work have shaped both the structure of the modern Cambodian sex industry and sex workers' experiences. It is rich in empirical detail, based on extensive long-term fieldwork and in-depth interviews and highly original, as the author describes the largely undocumented experiences of male and female sex workers to show how sex work remains prevalent in Cambodia and continues to be a dynamic terrain responding to global and local socioeconomic forces and moulded by government control and people's constantly changing social and sexual tastes. The analyses unpack the very serious consequences of the conflation between sex work and human trafficking. In tracing contemporary shifts and changes in the sex industry and sex work practices, the book draws clear connections between attempts to regulate the industry and transformations in contemporary sexual practices. Thus, it shows the extent to which regulations determine the structure of the industry and conditions under which male and female sex workers operate. Ultimately, the author argues that understanding sex workers' experiences of the implementation of anti-trafficking measures is essential to the development of evidence-based policy necessary to respond to the growing crisis in the region. A significant political intervention, the book gives an impetus to programmatic change, particularly relating to how governments develop and implement legal frameworks that combat human trafficking and advance knowledge on Southeast Asia. It makes a vital contribution to public debates and scholarship about human trafficking and will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience in the fields of Southeast Asia Studies, Human Rights Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Socio-Legal Studies, Human Geography, Gender Studies, Criminology, Sexuality Studies and Public Health Studies.

Off the Streets by Human Rights Watch (Organization) Pdf

"In Cambodia, those tasked with upholding the law often inflict some of the worst abuses. Sex workers in particular know this to be true. Women and girls involved in sex work face beatings, rape, sexual harassment, extortion, arbitrary arrest and detention, and other abuses from officials charged with enforcing the law. The perpetrators include police, public park security guards, and officials working in centers and offices run by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans, and Youth Rehabilitation (MOSAVY). 'Off the Streets,' documents the abuses based on interviews with more than 50 sex workers and group discussions with dozens more. Sex workers told Human Rights Watch that police officers beat them with their fists, sticks, wooden handles, and batons that administer electric shocks. Police officers also threatened sex workers with guns. In several instances, police officers raped sex workers while they were in police detention. Some sex workers described being detained in government centers under horrific conditions, with restricted freedom of movement, experiencing or witnessing beatings or rapes, and with inadequate food and medical care. Crimes by officials against sex workers are almost never prosecuted. The report also analyzes the impact of a 2008 Cambodian law on trafficking and sexual exploitation. While the new law has some useful provisions on trafficking, it criminalizes 'solicitation' by sex workers in ways that open the door to continuing police abuse against such individuals. Human Rights Watch urges the Cambodian government to end impunity by holding the perpetrators of these abuses accountable, and to shut down Social Affairs centers where many of the abuses take place. Donors and UN agencies should use their influence when engaging with the Cambodian government to ensure that this happens."--P. [4] of cover.

ASEAN and Human Trafficking by Naparat Kranrattanasuit Pdf

Trafficking in persons is a serious crime that affects the human rights, dignity and integrity of all its victims including women, men, and children in the Association of Southeast Asia Nation (ASEAN) region. ASEAN has made efforts to fight human trafficking through inter alia the establishment of regional counter-human trafficking laws and human rights bodies to establish best norms and practices for its member countries. Nevertheless, the International Labour Organization (ILO) recently declared that there are more than 11.7 million forced labor victims in the Asia-Pacific region encompassing the biggest concentration of forced labour victims in the world. This volume reviews the achievements and the deficiencies of ASEAN’s counter-human strategies at the national and regional level. It offers suggestions for the reform of ASEAN's anti-trafficking laws and for the creation of a regional anti-trafficking human rights body specialized in preventing human trafficking, promoting equal protection of all trafficking victims, and prosecuting human traffickers.

The Road of Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam Pdf

A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the Somaly Mam Foundation. A riveting, raw, and beautiful memoir of tragedy and hope Born in a village deep in the Cambodian forest, Somaly Mam was sold into sexual slavery by her grandfather when she was twelve years old. For the next decade she was shuttled through the brothels that make up the sprawling sex trade of Southeast Asia. Trapped in this dangerous and desperate world, she suffered the brutality and horrors of human trafficking—rape, torture, deprivation—until she managed to escape with the help of a French aid worker. Emboldened by her newfound freedom, education, and security, Somaly blossomed but remained haunted by the girls in the brothels she left behind. Written in exquisite, spare, unflinching prose, The Road of Lost Innocence recounts the experiences of her early life and tells the story of her awakening as an activist and her harrowing and brave fight against the powerful and corrupt forces that steal the lives of these girls. She has orchestrated raids on brothels and rescued sex workers, some as young as five and six; she has built shelters, started schools, and founded an organization that has so far saved more than four thousand women and children in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Her memoir will leave you awestruck by her tenacity and courage and will renew your faith in the power of an individual to bring about change.

The Least of These by Thomas Luke Pdf

The Orphans of Siem Reap, Cambodia, made a lasting impression upon me when I met them during my 2003 visit to Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I have not encountered anything sadder or more disturbing than seeing Khmer mothers and fathers selling their little girls’ virginity to Western pedophiles. These little girls, some as young as five years of age, are being exposed to the transmission of HIV. Often, this results in the murder of these young girls after they contracted AIDS from these men. I wrote a capstone-research paper for my Master of Arts in Theological Studies - Trinity Evangelical Divinity School - Class of 2020. From a biblical perspective, I researched how to restore these traumatized child-victims once they have been rescued from pedophile brothels in Cambodia. After graduation, I turned my capstone-research into a book called, ‘The Least of These.’(Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.– Psalm 82:3-4, NIV) *****ABOUT THE AUTHOR*****Rev. Luke is the host of The Rev Luke Show, which is a Christian talk show about social justice issues, and the author of the book The Least of These. He is an ordained Christian chaplain who holds a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and actively serves the business community as a Corporate Chaplain. He is an Instructor of Theological Studies at Genesis University online, where several of his articles have been published. Also, he published over 40 articles on RevLuke.com’s Theological Library. He is a human sex trafficking abolitionist and advocates for women’s and children’s rights. Rev. Luke was an annual guest speaker for Freedom Week at Florida International University and Florida Atlantic University regarding the sex trafficking of women and children in Southeast Asia.

Half the Sky by Nicholas D. Kristof,Sheryl WuDunn Pdf

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A passionate call to arms against our era’s most pervasive human rights violation—the oppression of women and girls in the developing world. From the bestselling authors of Tightrope, two of our most fiercely moral voices With Pulitzer Prize winners Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope. They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS. Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women’s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it’s also the best strategy for fighting poverty. Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, Half the Sky is essential reading for every global citizen.
