Human Trafficking in Malaysia
Ethical Traveler partners with Tenaganita in a campaign to protect Burmese refugees in Malaysia from human trafficking.
Burmese refugees who have fled for their lives to Malaysia because of religious and ethnic persecution in their homeland have not been recognized as Persons of Concern by the Malaysian government. Instead, they are "illegals". Their basic human rights are imperiled. They are denied the right to seek livelihood, access health care, receive education or seek safe and appropriate shelter. Women, men and children-including those who may be elderly, disabled, pregnant or sick-are arrested, abused, detained, tortured, sentenced and criminalized. In many instances, the refugees have been sold to human traffickers.
