Human Trafficking and Education HUMAN TRAFFICIKING AND EDUCATION: A QUALITATIVE CASE STUDY OF TWO NGO PROGRAMS IN THAILAND by ROBERT WEBER SPIRES (Under the Direction of Diane Brook Napier) ABSTRACT In this qualitative, ethnographic case study, I examine two Thai NGO shelters/schools working with human trafficking survivors and at-risk populations of children ages 5-18. The two NGOs had a residential component, meaning that children live at the shelter, and an educational component, meaning that children are taught academic and vocational skills. Education is a key intervention in the mission of both NGOs, and education is treated as a means of preventing human trafficking and protecting human trafficking survivors from returning to exploitative situations. The controversial definition of human trafficking and the continuum of vulnerability between at-risk populations and human trafficking victims are discussed. I explored the issues of statelessness and poverty through interviews with students, teachers and staff at the NGOs. I conducted observations in the NGO settings and in the broader Thai context by using ethnographic field notes. I described changes at the NGOs over time through a detailed account of specific aspects of the NGOs. I discussed NGO efforts to reduce the vulnerability of children, and the barriers that both children and NGOs face in vulnerability reduction efforts. Findings reflected the complex and multifaceted nature of vulnerability to human trafficking and other forms of exploitation for children in Southeast Asia. Finally, I discussed the interconnectedness of global issues of migration, statelessness, poverty within the local social context.

Scholars argue that Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) working on the prevention of human trafficking and the protection of human trafficking victims need to be more closely examined for a more complete understanding of the work they are doing, the issues that they face and the needs of the organizations, as well as those served by the organizations (Laczko, 2005). I conducted this study in three consecutive summers from 2009 to 2011, and I situated my study within the context of research in the field of human trafficking. I argued for the need of more in-depth examination of the issues at work in NGO-run shelter-schools in Thailand in order to more fully understand the human trafficking and education issues within the Thai context. Introduction Human trafficking is a global issue and is claimed to be the second largest and the fastest growing, criminal activity world-wide, in terms of money and the number of criminals involved, behind illicit drugs and ahead of illicit weapons (Bales, 2005). Human trafficking is a widespread global social problem which entails force or coercion, as well as transport of people for the purposes of labor and exploitation, yet many people around the world are not even aware of the issue. The number of actual victims of human trafficking is highly contested because of the hidden nature of human trafficking (Laczko, 2005), although many scholars agree that the problem is serious and the number of victims world-wide is large (Bales, 2008; Batstone, 2007; 2 Laczko, 2005; Skinner, 2008; United States Department of State, 2010). Some estimates have the number of human trafficking victims at over 20 million people world-wide (Bales, 2005).

(662)462 0303 -2- PREFACE Since the 1st International Conference on Language Development, Language Revitalization and Multilingual Education in 2003,1 increasing numbers of ethnolinguistic communities, NGOs, universities and governments in Asia and the Pacific have expressed interest in and /or begun implementing mother tongue-based multilingual education (MT-based MLE) programs for children and adults who do not speak or understand the language used in mainstream education. That trend now seems to be growing in Africa as well. Also during that time, there as been an increase in the number of efforts in many parts of the world to document, revitalize and sustain the heritage languages and cultures of non-dominant language communities through language development (LD) and language revitalization (LR) programs. In spite of these efforts, the purposes and benefits of language development, language revitalization and multilingual education are still not widely understood or accepted. Many LD, LR and MT-based MLE efforts remain quite weak and do not build on what has been learned through research and practice around the world. Clearly, more awareness-raising and advocacy are still needed. Also needed is more information about what works and what does not work in planning, implementing and sustaining strong LD, LR and MT-based MLE programs.
