Blog Entry #1: Hanni Stoklosa, Bangkok, Thailand, Post-Natural Disaster Human Trafficking Prevention in Thailand
The United Nations defines trafficking as the recruitment,
transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the
threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, or
deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the
giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person
having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

The International Labor Organization and the U.S. Department of
State have long recognized Thailand as a hub of trafficking in southeast Asia. Economic
disparity in the region helps to drive significant migration into Thailand from
its neighbors, presenting traffickers opportunities to exploit those desperate
for jobs. Trafficking is a serious risk
that is heightened when people are displaced, families separated, children
orphaned, and livelihoods destroyed. Specifically, natural and man-made
disasters may increase the risk of human trafficking by increasing their
vulnerability by these means.
