We are pleased to share our report that captures the movements of migrant workers coming to Malaysia, based on data contributions from International Domestic Workers Federation, Persatuan Sahabat Wanita Selangor, Migrant CARE Malaysia, Human Trafficking Watch, Penang Diocese Migrant Ministry, North South Initiative and Seahut. The mapping of relevant routes across organizations has never before been done in Malaysia, and we want to congratulate the CSOs named above for coming together and contributing to this collective knowledge-sharing initiative.

The anti-trafficking Somali Civil Society Organisations (CSO) Coalition, Freedom Collaborative and GIZ, working under the Better Migration Management (BMM II) program, are pleased to share a new report on Somali human trafficking and risky migration experiences. This is the first time that the participating organizations have contributed to a structured data collection exercise concerning human trafficking and risky migration routes around South-Central Somalia, Somaliland, Jubaland and Puntland.

Freedom Collaborative and the Malawi Network Against Trafficking (MNAT) are pleased to release this report aiming to address the scarcity of available data on routes used by Malawi victims and migrants, and to contribute to a better understanding of cross-border smuggling and trafficking trends. In particular, the report provides an overview of the border crossing points used to exit Malawi, and insights into the facilitation of movement from Malawi to South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique.

EACRN, STTK, and Freedom Collaborative are extremely proud that we have been able to work together in conducting a data project focusing exclusively on child trafficking and exploitation in Kenya.

The analysis highlights a number of current trends that have emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, a situation that has made children even more vulnerable.

New data submitted by local civil society organizations reveals specific locations of high human trafficking activity in Kenya and cross-regional exploitation patterns.

This new data collection effort has been undertaken to identify the specific cities and counties that Kenyans migrate from – a gap identified in the previous report – as well as to collect additional data on the modes of transportation and recruitment methods used.

This report is also available in Swahili.

For the first time, comprehensive data is available for human trafficking and high risk migration routes relating to Kenya. The data identifies 38 countries as origin, transit and destination locations for abuse of victims - including eight countries in the Middle East/Gulf States, three countries in Europe, and five countries in Asia.

The data collection, which is a joint initiative between the national coalition Stop the Traffik-Kenya (STTK) and Freedom Collaborative, compiles the data from CSOs that work with survivors and at-risk populations in the country.

We surveyed 106 NGOs from the Freedom Collaborative community across all regions about their experience of corruption in the process of serving their clients and from working with clients who experienced corruption at some point in the trafficking process.

93 % of the organizations we surveyed, have directly observed corruption or worked with clients who experienced corruption during the trafficking process.

Freedom Collaborative conducted a survey of our members to gain insights into the overall perceptions of funder-grantee relationships in the anti-trafficking and modern slavery community. The survey polled a sample of 80 anti-trafficking organizations from 28 countries that work in the field and provide services to victims and vulnerable populations.

The findings from the survey provide an overview of the challenges in the relationships between anti-trafficking funders and their grantees, and offer opportunities for discussion, learning, and improvement.
