As Cambodian families usher in Khmer New Year with their loved ones, those of hundreds of migrant workers do not even know if they will ever be able to see them again. The National Committee for Counter Trafficking (NCCT) has asked Cambodian embassies to help trace more than 600 migrant workers whose families claim have gone missing abroad.

 

Chou Bun Eng, a secretary of state of the Ministry of Interior and vice-chairwoman of the NCCT, said yesterday that “We are looking for cooperation with countries where Cambodians go to work, to help provide information on these migrants whose families are unable to contact.”

 

“I think it will be a difficult task because some of the workers may have gone to work illegally and used different names or do not have documents of identification with them,” she said. Bun Eng said that some of the “missing” migrants could also be working on ships and their families are unable to contact them because they are out at sea for long periods of time and have no means of communication.
