CAMBODIA and VIET NAM

Protecting Women and Children from Human Trafficking

Implementing Agency
ILO

Collaborating Partners
International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (ILO), international and local NGOs, local government authorities.

Objective
This project seeks to contribute to the elimination of labour exploitation and trafficking of children and women. The goal of this initiative is thus to build community capacity to prevent trafficking in children and women in the selected provinces in Cambodia and Viet Nam. Holistic community-based preventive interventions will thus be supported  in rural areas of Cambodia and Viet Nam with high incidence of trafficking.

Activities
Awareness raising campaigns, including women and children forums and formation of youth groups to provide sufficient knowledge and skills to avoid and prevent human trafficking and labour exploitation.

  • Rural skills training for food security and income generation, based on local market demand.
  • Support to community-driven networks for village planning, improving access to services, and community-based decision making.

Beneficiaries
Children and women at high risk of trafficking, as well as their families and communities, who are living in circumstances that render them vulnerable to trafficking for labour exploitation and human trafficking.

Outputs (including distinctive aspects of the project)

  • Training of trainers provided on gender equality and child labour.
  • 91 pre-school children and 96 students in the non-formal sector have been transferred  to formal education structures and state schools, and 203 children have been inducted in non-formal education programmes (Cambodia).
  • Development of six Village Action Programmes in Cambodia and four in Viet Nam, in cooperation with local community groups, women’s association, NGOs, and district authorities, to strengthen child protection networks, raise awareness against trafficking, improve access to education and living conditions of at risk families and youth.
  • The Royal Government of Cambodia ratified ILO Convention 182 on the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour and Viet Nam developed a National Plan of Action to Combat Crime of Trafficking in Children and Women.
  • Regional workshops involving the governments of Cambodia, Viet Nam and Lao PDR were facilitated to foster discussions on policy and legislation against trafficking in women and children
