Ministry of Labor tackles human trafficking issue especially in the fishery business

BANGKOK, 23 September 2014 (NNT) -- M.L. Puntarik Samiti, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labor, sat as the chairperson in a forum on human trafficking for labor purposes.

She said that the Ministry is concerned with the issue of human trafficking, especially in the fishery business. The US has ranked Thailand as having a grave human trafficking problem, which has resulted in less trade and investment.

Recently, the National Council for Peace and Order has taken steps to try to handle this issue including registering illegal migrant workers, prosecuting unlawful brokers, monitoring migrant workers closely, and encouraging employers to manage migrant worker system more efficiently.

Mr. Puntarik went further by saying that the Ministry alone cannot combat the problem of human trafficking in the fishery business, so it has to collaborate with other offices. So far it is also working with the Marine Police Division, the Marine Department, the Department of Fisheries, and DSI. Together these offices have cooperated and built a surveillance network to ensure that there is no human trafficking on fishing boats.

A NZ lawyer from a leading practice is changing his career to rescuing children from this evil practice.

It should be remembered however that much western wealth was built on free work from slaves for which reparation has never been made.
