Trafficking Survivors Return From Thailand With Trauma

PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) – Rescue does not end trauma.

Most Cambodian men and boys brought home from Thai fishing boats return with symptoms rather than the cash they were promised. These range from headaches to addiction and shock, psychologists working with those who have been rescued say.

This was also apparent in interviews conducted by Khmer Times with men and boys who had been trafficked to work on Thai fishing vessels. Some still had physical scars, all remained wounded psychologically.

They still recall working long hours, sleep deprivation, and beatings from their bosses and colleagues.
