Proportion of slavery in the fishing industry.
In spite of several years of highly publicized efforts to address problems in the Thai fishing industry, the Thai government has not taken the steps necessary to end forced labor and other serious abuses on fishing boats.
Areas where human trafficking frequently happened and have weak inspection
Both undocumented illegal immigrants and local fishers could be victims of becoming a slave in the fishing industry. Those practices of human trafficking always occurred at the ports where seafood tradings are common. Many policemen helped human traffickers in trapping undocumented illegal immigrants into slaves.
Problem
The reasons behind 225,000 slaves in Thailand Fishing
Public unawareness has been the biggest root of the problem. Through research, most of the people living in the cities have less awareness on the sources of seafood that they consumed on a daily basis. Same problem occurs with international consumers who consumed Thai Seafood without knowing the source of their Thai seafood. Many immigrants have been human trafficked when illegally crossing the borders between Thailand, Laos and Vietnam without knowing their immigration might lead to slavery.
