Migration

On the 16th of February the Heinrich Böll Foundation Cambodia hosted a workshop on the challenges in human trafficking at the Metahouse in Phnom Penh. Human trafficking is a worldwide phenomenon that is especially prevalent in Southeast Asia.

Globalisation is one of the most influential phenomena of our time and while bringing many positive changes to the world’s society, there is also a negative side to it: uncontrollable dynamics in markets and society, combined with environmental issues or political crisis may all contribute to a person’s decision to migrate.

The South Korean government must end the exploitation and widespread use of forced labour of migrant agricultural workers, Amnesty International said, as it published a new report that reveals how the country’s farming industry is rife with abuse.
