As demonstrated this week in Washington with the State Department's expected release of the 2006 Trafficking in Persons Report, human trafficking is one of the most urgent human rights problems in Asia. With Cambodia being a known source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labor, The Asia Foundation released a comprehensive assessment of research on human trafficking in Cambodia titled, The Review of a Decade of Research on Trafficking in Persons, Cambodia.
The Review provides a comprehensive assessment of more than 70 research studies, highlighting what is and what is not known about human trafficking in Cambodia. It analyzes past studies, identifies gaps in information, offers suggestions for future research, and calls upon the counter-trafficking community to work together to create a solid base of knowledge that will inform and strengthen future efforts to counter trafficking in Cambodia. Later this month, a companion e-database, featuring 72 studies analyzed in the review, will launch and allow counter-trafficking stakeholders in Cambodia to share their own research and findings.
