Announcement Description

Despite its fast-expanding economy and a significant poverty reduction in the past decade, Cambodia remains one of the world’s poorest countries. 35% of Cambodians are still living in poverty, according to estimates from the 2018 global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) released by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI). Lack of job opportunities, debts and dependence on micro-finance institutions are some of the push factors that drive Cambodians to migrate within the country and outside its borders in order to find a better-paid job. More than 1.2 million of Khmer are working overseas. Due to a significant labour shortage, Thailand remains the main destination country for over 92%1 of Cambodian workers, of which 73%2 using irregular channels and without legal documents.

WeWorld-GVC in partnership with its local counterparts in Cambodia, Legal Support for Children and Women (LSCW), and in Thailand, Labour Rights Promotion Network Foundation (LPN) is seeking applications from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Social enterprises (SEs), communication agencies and other private companies to design and implement an outreach campaign to combat human trafficking and labour exploitation in Cambodia and Thailand.

The following guidelines provide an overview of the application process and procedures for interested applicants to the WeWorld-GVC Small Financial Support Scheme.

OBJECTIVES OF THE CAMPAIGN

WeWorld-GVC seeks to build a communication campaign, which, based on real stories of migrants and left behind, enables the dissemination of information on safe migration to a wider public using innovative and cost-effective tools such as social media and other available online instruments.

The scope of the outreach campaign will be:

  • To increase awareness among Cambodian migrant workers and potential ones, authorities in Cambodia and Thailand and general public about labour and migrants rights, human trafficking, promoting safe migration and strengthening the action against abuses and exploitation.

To that end, WeWorld-GVC wants to build the campaign around real cases tackling two separate issues:

  • Human trafficking in fishing boats, fishing and seafood industries (including the children working in this sector);
  • Integration into the society of migrants and access to justice (barrier of languages, discrimination, arbitrary detention in prisons, etc.).

Actions under this Call for Proposals should focus on the two above selected topics to promote and support activities and mechanisms, which raise the issues of human trafficking and unsafe migration in order to achieve a broader understanding amongst Cambodia, Thailand and ASEAN countries’ citizens.
