🌐 The dark side of trafficking: forced online scams. During #HumanTraffickingPreventionMonth, we spotlight Cambodia's growing crisis—victims trafficked & coerced into scamming under threats of violence.
These scams steal $64B annually in SE Asia, with $12.5B tied to Cambodia.
Victim identification is critical in fighting human trafficking. Too many victims remain unseen and unheard, making it hard to protect them. By improving identification efforts, we ensure they get the care & justice they deserve. Every identified victim = a life saved🙌
In March 2022, Cambodian CSOs & partners called for the closure of “Slave Compounds in Cambodia.”
💻2.5 years later, how have Forced Online Scamming Centers changed?
❓ Has the call been answered?
📈 Reports show 350+ centers exploiting 150K workers.
⚠️ Action is needed! 🇰🇭
✨ Did you know?
71% of trafficking victims globally are women & girls—49% women, 23% girls.
These numbers from the UNODC remind us of their vulnerability to exploitation & abuse.

Did you know? Thousands are trafficked into Southeast Asia's "scam compounds" for cyber fraud, costing billions annually. Trapped by confiscated passports, they endure exploitation & abuse. These workers, lured by false job promises, are forced into fraud under constant threats.
Criminal syndicates in Southeast Asia steal up to $64 billion annually through online scams and illegal gambling worldwide. Syndicates based in Mekong countries (Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos) alone account for over $43.8 billion yearly – nearly 40% of their combined formal GDP. #Crime
