🛂 This week in Bangkok, the RSO joined @FreedomCollab and @IOMThailand to strengthen 🇹🇭Thai immigration officers' capacity to identify trafficking for forced criminality into cyber-scam centres, at one of the last points where intervention may be possible before exploitation occurs.

Officers explored how cyber-scam centre networks recruit and transport potential victims, the indicators that can emerge during screening and interviews, and worked through survivor-informed case studies, with active discussions on how lessons from these can be applied within everyday immigration workflows to improve outcomes.

The RSO thanks the Royal Thai Police and Thai Immigration Bureau for hosting, to Freedom Collaborative and IOM for partnering on delivery, and to @ukinthailand and UK International Development 🇬🇧for making the workshop possible.

As technology evolves, so must our efforts to counter hate speech.

As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, ensuring it promotes inclusion rather than amplifies false and harmful narratives is a shared responsibility.

🔎As trafficking networks continue to evolve alongside technology, conflict, and shifting migration patterns, strengthening regional cooperation and leadership readiness remains critical to responding to emerging threats.

🌏The Border Control Agency Management Program (BCAMP) is a specialised training program for emerging immigration and border agency leaders from #ASEAN Member States and Australia, focusing on building skills and connections to manage the safe movement of people across borders, including countering trafficking in persons and people smuggling.

📍At #BCAMP35 taking place this week in Hanoi, Viet Nam, Ben Reeves, RSO Co-Manager (Australia), presented on “Emerging Leaders, Emerging Threats: Building Border Agency Readiness for Next-Generation Trafficking.”

🫱🏼‍🫲🏽Thank you to BCAMP and organising partners, the Australian Department of Home Affairs, Viet Nam's Ministry of Public Security and The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology @RMIT for the opportunity to contribute. The RSO looks forward to continued engagement with the next generation of immigration and border agency leaders on practical approaches to prevention, preparedness, and cross-border collaboration.

Corruption fuels human trafficking.

When an official takes cash, a network stays operational.

When law enforcement operations are compromised, a case collapses.

Cyber-scam centre operations have expanded well beyond Southeast Asia, and the urgency of coordinated responses - at both the national and regional level - has never been greater. 🌏

🤝 In support, yesterday the RSO co-hosted the Thematic Dialogue on Preventing and Responding to #TraffickingInPersons into Cyber-Scam Centres in Jakarta, in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (@Kemlu_RI)
The dialogue brought key Indonesian response agencies into the same room as Indonesian diplomatic missions posted across Southeast Asia, creating a unique opportunity to align the global and regional situation with national responses, and coordinate across agencies responding to the same challenge from different angles. Discussions were detailed, and the connections formed will help bolster the foundation for stronger coordinated action moving forward.

A warm thank you to @Kemlu_RI for co-hosting this dialogue, and for Indonesia's continued leadership as Bali Process Co-Chair - driving forward our shared work plan and regional responses to #trafficking and #forcedcriminality.

Thanks to the @OSCE_CTHB team and the UK Delegation to the OSCE for organising such a substantive discussion. Great to connect with so many colleagues working on this from different angles - looking forward to working together from here 5/5

Responding to global challenges require cross-regional coordination, sharing lessons & building awareness where gaps exist. Southeast Asia has hard-won experience on this & getting that knowledge to regions now facing similar challenges is exactly why events like this matter 4/5
