GAP'S ROLE

Global Advance Projects is the first point of call for returning ‘trafficked in persons for forced criminality’ from Myanmar to Thailand.

  • When victims of human trafficking enter Mae Sot our organization will assist in recovery from smugglers drop sites, assist in accommodation, food, medical support, and trauma-informed debriefing.

  • We provide 48 - 72 hour care, during this time we present the options available to each person, assist in identifying the victims for prescreening under the National Referral Mechanism, or prepare the victim for self-reporting to the immigration department in Thailand.

  • We work closely with cooperating embassies to provide information and recommendations for their citizens.

“‘Rescue to Repatriation’ is our motto regarding the rescue and care for victims of human trafficking. Not only do we assist in their rescues but we walk them through the victim identification process and options for repatriation to their home countries. ”

But the moment they get on that boat (to Myanmar), they’re lost,” he said.” — Bernama, The Borneo Post Read the full article here

  • “The way that they choose countries to traffic (victims), it isn’t based on the Asian region, it’s based on English education. It’s English education and Chinese language. They want Chinese translation and English (writers) to run online scams. Malaysians have strong English compared to other countries like Thailand, which has none,” said Judah Tana, founder and international executive officer of Australian charity Global Advance Projects.” - BERNAMA, BFokus Read the full article here
