Mobilization Note Against Human Trafficking and Scam Centers in Cambodia
Human trafficking, modern slavery, and scam centers in Cambodia represent a severe crisis that can no longer be ignored. For too long, this plague has grown in the shadows, often with the tacit complicity of certain actors or through collective indifference.
Today, it is urgent that citizens, authorities, NGOs, media, economic players, and international partners fully mobilize to put an end to these inhumane practices.
Each of us has a role to play — whether by reporting these networks, supporting victims, or exerting constant pressure to ensure justice is served.
It is imperative that we do not turn a blind eye, because behind every scam center and every trafficking network, there are destroyed lives, untold suffering, and fundamental human rights violations.
In the face of this reality, passivity becomes a form of complicity.
We must act with responsibility and solidarity:
Alert. Protect. Support. Report.
Together, we can push back against this scourge and give victims a chance to reclaim their dignity and freedom.
Collective mobilization is the key to restoring human dignity and justice.
