Book Description
Reporting the findings of a comprehensive study of human trafficking in Cambodia, this book focuses on the characteristics and operations of the traffickers. It provides a theoretical framework that explains the emergence of the phenomenon, and the role of moral panic and western hegemony in the war on human trafficking. Using a multi-method and multi-source research design, which includes an examination of police and prison records as well as interviews with 91 incarcerated human traffickers, police and prison officers, court officials, and members of NGOs, this book investigates five major themes about human traffickers in Cambodia: who are they, how do they operate, how much profit do they make, why are they involved in human trafficking, and how does the Cambodian Criminal Justice System (CJS) control their activities? A novel and unique analysis, this book is of interest to a wide academic audience in the fields of Asian Studies, Human Trafficking, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, Human Geography and Critical Legal Studies.

Book Description
Trafficking in persons is a serious crime that affects the human rights, dignity and integrity of all its victims including women, men, and children in the Association of Southeast Asia Nation (ASEAN) region. ASEAN has made efforts to fight human trafficking through inter alia the establishment of regional counter-human trafficking laws and human rights bodies to establish best norms and practices for its member countries. Nevertheless, the International Labour Organization (ILO) recently declared that there are more than 11.7 million forced labor victims in the Asia-Pacific region encompassing the biggest concentration of forced labour victims in the world. This volume reviews the achievements and the deficiencies of ASEAN’s counter-human strategies at the national and regional level. It offers suggestions for the reform of ASEAN's anti-trafficking laws and for the creation of a regional anti-trafficking human rights body specialized in preventing human trafficking, promoting equal protection of all trafficking victims, and prosecuting human traffickers.

Book Description
The Orphans of Siem Reap, Cambodia, made a lasting impression upon me when I met them during my 2003 visit to Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I have not encountered anything sadder or more disturbing than seeing Khmer mothers and fathers selling their little girls’ virginity to Western pedophiles. These little girls, some as young as five years of age, are being exposed to the transmission of HIV. Often, this results in the murder of these young girls after they contracted AIDS from these men. I wrote a capstone-research paper for my Master of Arts in Theological Studies - Trinity Evangelical Divinity School - Class of 2020. From a biblical perspective, I researched how to restore these traumatized child-victims once they have been rescued from pedophile brothels in Cambodia. After graduation, I turned my capstone-research into a book called, ‘The Least of These.’(Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.– Psalm 82:3-4, NIV) *****ABOUT THE AUTHOR*****Rev. Luke is the host of The Rev Luke Show, which is a Christian talk show about social justice issues, and the author of the book The Least of These. He is an ordained Christian chaplain who holds a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and actively serves the business community as a Corporate Chaplain. He is an Instructor of Theological Studies at Genesis University online, where several of his articles have been published. Also, he published over 40 articles on RevLuke.com’s Theological Library. He is a human sex trafficking abolitionist and advocates for women’s and children’s rights. Rev. Luke was an annual guest speaker for Freedom Week at Florida International University and Florida Atlantic University regarding the sex trafficking of women and children in Southeast Asia.

Book Description
"In Cambodia, those tasked with upholding the law often inflict some of the worst abuses. Sex workers in particular know this to be true. Women and girls involved in sex work face beatings, rape, sexual harassment, extortion, arbitrary arrest and detention, and other abuses from officials charged with enforcing the law. The perpetrators include police, public park security guards, and officials working in centers and offices run by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans, and Youth Rehabilitation (MOSAVY). 'Off the Streets,' documents the abuses based on interviews with more than 50 sex workers and group discussions with dozens more. Sex workers told Human Rights Watch that police officers beat them with their fists, sticks, wooden handles, and batons that administer electric shocks. Police officers also threatened sex workers with guns. In several instances, police officers raped sex workers while they were in police detention. Some sex workers described being detained in government centers under horrific conditions, with restricted freedom of movement, experiencing or witnessing beatings or rapes, and with inadequate food and medical care. Crimes by officials against sex workers are almost never prosecuted. The report also analyzes the impact of a 2008 Cambodian law on trafficking and sexual exploitation. While the new law has some useful provisions on trafficking, it criminalizes 'solicitation' by sex workers in ways that open the door to continuing police abuse against such individuals. Human Rights Watch urges the Cambodian government to end impunity by holding the perpetrators of these abuses accountable, and to shut down Social Affairs centers where many of the abuses take place. Donors and UN agencies should use their influence when engaging with the Cambodian government to ensure that this happens."--P. [4] of cover.
