2020 marked the five-year anniversary of the signing of the ASEAN Convention Against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (the Convention).
The ASEAN-Australia Counter Trafficking Programme (ASEAN ACT) is a 10-year partnership funded by the Australian Government that works with ASEAN Member States to support the implementation of the Convention, particularly those obligations that protect and uphold victim rights and advance gender equality and social inclusion.
As a way of marking the Convention’s five-year anniversary, this Report looks at the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Annual Reports that the ASEAN Member States have published in 2020.
