Our recent experiences show…
Based on child rescue work done by The Grey Man Inc in Thailand in the four months to November 2008 we can conclude the following:
- Illegal trafficking of children for the sex trade is increasing.
- Court sentences for trafficking children have increased and are more severe for children under 14 years.
- Those rescued range from mainstream Thai’s to hilltribe children from Thailand and neighbouring countries, to Burmese and Lao children. Even Chinese and Cambodian children are trafficked into Thailand but to a lesser extent than the others.
- Race of children trafficked varies with their location.
- The underage sex trade is getting more difficult to find as a result of stiffer penalties and police action.
- Not surprisingly the sex trade in the larger popular tourist destinations is operated by organised crime, both Thai and International.
