Every year, it is estimated that hundreds of Cambodian men are trafficked to work on fishing vessels in Thailand. These fishermen end up in an exploitative situation where they find themselves trapped as slaves: never-ending work hours, unpaid salaries, hard working conditions, physical abuses (including sexual abuses), forced use of drugs, and torture. Many never come back; some commit suicide and the lucky few escape. The USAID-funded Cambodia Counter Trafficking in Persons program (CTIP II) has been providing legal aid to 97 survivors and project partner, Legal Support for Children and Women, continues to work on this case in the appeals court.
