Cambodia: UN Trust Fund helps NGO to reintegrate children trafficked for exploitation
Cambodia: UN Trust Fund helps NGO to reintegrate children trafficked for exploitation:
The thriving cross-border trade in Poipet, a Cambodian town on the Cambodia - Thailand border, attracts many migrant families from other parts of Cambodia. However, the lack of actual job opportunities has led to high unemployment rates and widespread poverty, with most residents earning one dollar a day or less. Child labour is widespread, not only in Poipet, but also through child trafficking and unsafe migration where children from Cambodia are taken across borders to work as beggars and street sellers in Bangkok.
