The enslavement and relocation of people—either within or across borders—for the purpose of labor or other activities, is known as human trafficking. In July 2001, AED began developing a Web site to facilitate information exchange and encourage coordination among organizations combating human trafficking in the East Asia Pacific region (EAP). The Web site serves as a repository of information where NGOs, government departments, and others seeking assistance in dealing with trafficking issues can find appropriate and timely information. Target audiences in EAP source countries as well as destination countries include: government agencies such as immigration, labor and justice; concerned NGOs both domestic and international; and the general public interested in activities and resources targeted on curtailing trafficking in EAP.
