Some of the young men on these boats end up farther than Thailand.
2 Cambodians called me last month from Senegal as the ship they were kept was being repaired in this African country. Somehow they had my phone number.
My advice to them was to reach a police station in own and seek help. They did! and arrived in Cambodia last week.
Latest trend: the employment agencies that used to recruit young women as domestic workers for Malaysia are now mobilizing young men for Thailand.
I am walking the campaign trail every day and half of the villages in this North West province is empty as the young and strong men have left for Thailand.

Did these ex-slaves catch your lunch?
Thailand, a major source of fish imported to the US, depends on slave labor.

Desperate life at sea
The years grind away at young lives. Most slaves don't step on land for a full six years.
1 comment:
maybe the US, etc should boycott siem fish from slave labors, you know.
