Of Cambodia ACTs members 2019 Cambodia Against Child Trafficking Networks (Cambodia ACTs) Introduction Sexual Exploitation, Forced Labour and Sex-trafficking have been one of the most persistent and increasingly dangerous global issues that has come to affect all in different ways. These are often categorised under what is known as Modern Slavery. “The International Labour Organization estimates that women and girls represent the largest share of forced labour victims with 11.4 million trafficked victims (55%) compared to 9.5 million (45%) men”1. Men, Women or children migrate in search for work, but often fall prey to forced labour- fisheries, brick making, or to work in factories. One of the major reasons is also due to unlicensed agencies or intermediaries through whom the transit takes place. Furthermore, with increase in tourist destinations, girls and women become victims of sexual abuse and trafficking through the deceptions of commercial entertainment areas. It has been of utmost importance to be able to deliver justice, provide a safe environment and protect those at-risk of falling prey to such situations. With the growing numbers, the needs of those affected has come to light. There is a range of services and types of assistance that they require. Cambodia ACTs is a network of 16 NGOs taking action and carrying out projects to counter Trafficking and reduce exploitation and abuse. Its partner NGOs have these services, in diversification that the victims require. These range from Safe shelter, Emergency Drop-ins, Basic needs of food and clothing, Education, training and job placements to legal assistance to bring justice to them; and be referred to the right organisation for being given the service they most need. Along with the services they provide, this network also consists of NGOs that network with other organisations and agencies to build capacity and improve the quality and feasibility of service as well as the society to be a better place and more accommodating to them. They have been divided on the basis of the Provinces or the Areas that the NGOs have their offices in. However, there are NGOs that work outside these provinces where they have their NGOs. Thus, to have a simplicity to understand where the NGOs are based and where they work a table is given on page 3. These NGOs are mostly based in the following 21 provinces and a city. 1 https://www.dosomething.org/us/facts/11-facts-about-human-trafficking P a g e | 68 2 Page Table of Contents Listing of Cambodia
