An overview of Human Trafficking in Cambodia: The UN Role to address the problem

Un extrait de la thèse:

This thesis is a descriptive study and brief overview of human trafficking in Cambodia of which the purpose was to increase my own knowledge and understanding of this topic. I hope, also to achieve the same purpose for the reader as well. Having had the experience of living in Cambodia for over a year, I saw first-hand the vulnerabilities within the Cambodian society. Many among them are often exploited by human traffickers as: poverty, socio-economic imbalances, social pressures, lack of availability of public services and many other social issues. Throughout my research, I discovered a plethora of information on human trafficking within Cambodia from a modern-day perspective. My challenge was putting this information into something brief in order to create this overview. This thesis is not meant to be a critique or a deep analysis of the current situation related to Human Trafficking in Cambodia: It would require far more expertise and time to go in depth on the issue. It’s my hope though that this thesis increases the knowledge and awareness on what is happening today in Human Trafficking issues in Cambodia, as wells in the rest of the world.
