Nations d’Asie du Sud-Est : aider l’ASEAN et ses États membres à lutter contre la traite des êtres humains

Lutte contre la traite ASEAN-Australie

Défi

Trafficking in persons has no borders and occurs in many different sectors - its negative impacts spread across Southeast Asia. Economic downturn across the region, coupled with an increase in online activity has placed more people at risk of being recruited into false or misleading employment opportunities.

In response to these emerging trends and ongoing vulnerabilities to trafficking in persons in Southeast Asia, Australia continues over 20 years of support to ASEAN and its Member States to strengthen responses to trafficking in persons, while advancing the rights and protection of victims.

Approche

Le ASEAN-Australia Counter Trafficking program is a 10-year initiative (2018-2028) funded by the Australian Government and implemented by DT Global. The program supports ASEAN and ASEAN Member States to implement and report on its obligations under the ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (ACTIP). The program works with and through ASEAN sectoral bodies and in five target countries – Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

Objectifs et résultats

Working with and through ASEAN, recent achievements include:

The program has 4 key projects to respond to common challenges in countering trafficking in persons. Recent achievements by project include:

  1. Enhancing collaboration within and across sectors:
  • Supported Thailand to convene annual modern slavery conferences bringing together government, businesses, and non-government to discuss the vulnerabilities of workers to modern slavery and how these can be addressed through multi-stakeholder partnerships (2024 and 2025).
  • Supported multi-stakeholder consultations to inform the review of Vietnam’s anti-trafficking in persons law, which now contains stronger protection and enhanced support for victims, including the importance of applying the non-punishment principle to victims of trafficking (2024).
  • Conducted research in partnership with La Trobe University on the intersection of disability and trafficking, which was launched at an international conference (2024).
  • Partnering with Organisations of Persons with Disabilities in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand to progress disability inclusion in counter trafficking (2025).

  1. Improving transparency and accountability
  • Supported the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC) to develop a monitoring and evaluation system to strengthen gender-sensitive and victim-centred approaches in countering-trafficking. This system is now being piloted in Thailand and the Philippines.
  • Conducted a study on the nexus between trafficking in persons and corruption in partnership with UNODC (2024).
