More DescriptionHuman trafficking has become an issue of growing concern in South-East Asia over the past decade, and it is estimated that this region accounts for at least one-third of the global trafficking trade. This study looks at the history and extent of this problem, as well as the responses by countries in the region. It also considers the responses of receiving countries outside the region, including the United States where it is estimated that 30,000 south east Asian women and children are trafficked each year.
