A New Landscape Assessment Highlights the Unique Challenges and Gaps in Services Facing Cambodian Migrants Journeying to Thailand We’re excited to share insights from our latest research! This assessment highlights the realities of Cambodian Migrant Workers (CMWs) in Thailand, focusing on their geographic and industry presence, the significant barriers they encounter in their migration journey, and the availability—and gaps—of essential services. Additionally, the study underscores the vital role of networks like the Cambodian Migrant Worker Network (CMWN) in addressing these needs. This research aims to inform program strategies under #Winrock International’s #CambodiaCTIP Activity, fostering improved access to services and stronger support for CMWs.

International Migrants Day, observed annually on December 18, celebrates the contributions of migrants and raises awareness of their rights. Proclaimed by the United Nations in 2000, the date commemorates the 1990 adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. It highlights the diverse drivers of migration, including safety, dignity, and better opportunities, and focuses on addressing the challenges migrants face globally. The day is marked by activities such as seminars, social media campaigns, and cultural events to promote understanding and inclusion. Recent themes have included "Honoring the Contributions of Migrants" (2023) and "Promoting Safe Migration" (2022), emphasizing respect for migrants' rights and their role in society. #InternationalMigrantsDay #December18 #MigrantsMatter #InternationalMigrantsDay #GlobalMigration #MigrantsRights #HumanRights #DignityForAll #SafeMigration #WeTogether #MigrationForDevelopment #StandWithMigrants #SupportsMigrants #HumanRightsForAll #InclusiveWorld #RefugeesWelcome #CelebrateDiversity #UnityInDiversity #EqualRightsForAll #DiversityIsStrength #StandWithMigrants

Sothalen, was just 8 months old when her parents left Cambodia.  Unable to provide their family, her parents left her behind, in the care of relatives, to find work in Thailand.  Now a teenager, Sothalen tearfully describes how her life would be different if she had her parents’ regular presence and support.  As a mother, my heart breaks for her and her family.  Her parents left her behind in the hope of giving her a better future, instead, we see through our daily work and confirmed in our research, children like Sothalen, often experience loneliness, lower educational attainment, and negative physical and mental health outcomes. An estimated 23.6 million migrants from Southeast Asia live outside their home countries. This shapes their communities’ social and economic landscape. With nearly 1.3 million child migrants in ASEAN, there is a pressing need to pay attention to the vulnerabilities of young migrants and their families. World Vision believes that having a sense of belonging is foundational for establishing resilient and thriving communities. Our support is vital for individuals and families, those in transit, those adjusting to unfamiliar environments, and those left behind. In 2023 alone, World Vision supported 204,143 children, like Soathalen, who are affected by migration in East Asia. We are committed to developing sustainable solutions to improve their education, health and protection. Through our ongoing efforts, we continue to create pathways for migrants to thrive and contribute positively to their new communities. This International Migrants Day, let us recognise the importance of building supportive communities for migrants and commit to ensuring that every migrant, no matter where they come from, or where they are going, feels a sense of belonging and connection.
