About the book
A study of how displacement by armed conflict leaves people in Mindanao's evacuation camps open to human trafficking. It documents a problem long suspected but little studied.
This study by the Mindanao Migrants Center for Empowering Actions (MMCEAI), with Mary Fe Arquiza as author, looks at the link between displacement by armed conflict and human trafficking. It came out of action research funded by Oxfam in 2010 among people displaced by the 2008 fighting. The team visited evacuation camps in 7 ARMM municipalities and in Lanao del Sur and gathered accounts from 130 respondents. The research was prompted by reports of 2 children who went missing in 2008 after being recruited from camps in Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte.
It found that recruiters and traffickers moved into the camps posing as relief workers and offering jobs, often abroad, and that the first weeks in a camp were the most dangerous. Some recruits agreed to false travel documents to be sent out faster. The first recommendation is to end the war. Others include social protection, cash aid, legal and trauma support for victims, better shelters, and teaching evacuees about illegal recruitment.
