Country:   PHILIPPINES Description of the Assignment:  General BackgroundThe transnational organized crime (TOC) landscape in Southeast Asia has evolved dramatically inrecent years. Trafficking in persons (TIP) for the purpose of forced criminality (FC) to commit online scamsand financial fraud, particularly occurring in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and other areas of Cambodia,Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), and Myanmar (especially border areas controlled by armedgroups), as well as other destination countries (including Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand) hasemerged as a new and growing trend. TOC groups are capitalizing on rising young adult unemploymentand advances in information technology to expand these operations. Hundreds of thousands of victimsof TIP for FC from across the globe have been identified in scam compounds; overall, international NGOshave identified over 66 nationalities of trafficking victims in scam compounds in Southeast Asia.TIP victims are recruited through fraudulent job ads on social media platforms and online job searchplatforms, where there is little to no vetting, nominal verification of jobs posted, and few warnings aboutthe possibility of victimization through false job ads. Victims report that the employment ads and thehiring process all seem “normal and legitimate,” travel and work documents are organized by the new‘employer,’ victims are met at the airport by members of organized crime networks, they are facilitatedthrough immigration, and then driven to the compound to start “work,” at times crossing internationalborders from Thailand to Myanmar, Lao PDR and/or Cambodia. Upon arrival at the compound, passportsare taken away and soon it becomes clear that they have been trafficked.While public awareness of online scamming is high, there is limited public awareness of widespreadforced criminal operations, the dangerous conditions and illegal activities in cyber scam centers, and theTIP element underpinning these crimes.Objectives of the Assignment:The purpose of the assignment is to oversee and support the planning, implementation, andevaluation of the awareness campaign on human trafficking for forced criminality in the Philippines.
