During investigations in January and February 2014, EJF
documented the continued prevalence of trafficking in
Thailand’s seafood industry and identified specific failings in the
Government’s actions to tackle the issue. Through interviews
with recent trafficking victims, business operators and local
representatives of Government agencies, EJF’s investigations
reveal the continued and systematic exploitation of migrant
labour, facilitated by endemic corruption and perpetuated by
an official response seemingly more concerned with sound bites
than solutions.
