"Labor group eyes Asean help in fighting human trafficking", 8 May 2023

A LABOR group is now eyeing the intervention of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to address incidents of trafficking of migrant workers in the Philippines and its neighboring countries.

[...] [T]he Federation of Free Workers (FFW) said it will call on ASEAN member countries to collectively address incidents of modern-day slavery by engaging with the ASEAN Trade Union Council (ATUC) and the ASEAN Secretariat.

[...]

FFW made the pronouncement after the Philippine National Police (PNP) rescued over 919 foreigners from a cyber marketing firm linked to human trafficking at the Clark Freeport Zone last week.

Most of them are Vietnamese, Chinese and Indonesians.
