What is World Vision doing?

Human trafficking is a difficult problem to address for several reasons. It is often unrecognised, and although it is not allowed by international law, it is still tolerated by many governments and communities. Also, in recent years, there has been a focus on trafficking into prostitution, when the issue is really much larger and broader.

To meet this challenge, World Vision works in a variety of ways including:

The streets of Phnom Penh city, where the outreach group approach street kids to come receive medical attention, play games, learn about HIV/AIDS, and eat snacks.

advocating vigorously to raise awareness and empower communities so they can challenge traffickers from within.
providing resources to local groups in Australia to help them deliver anti-trafficking campaigns
working closely with communities in the Asia region, teaching community leaders, teachers, tourism operators, local governments and children themselves, how to prevent child trafficking
providing livelihood security for people who are vulnerable so they are less likely to migrate
protecting migrant rights and helping with safe migration processes
joining with other advocates to advise governments on trafficking policy
providing support for victims of trafficking so that they can rejoin their communities and avoid being re-trafficked.
