A Study on Awareness of Human Trafficking in Mandalay Region, Myanmar (Khin Khin Soe, 2023) Khin Khin Soe The study is a public survey on knowledge, awareness and observation of human trafficking in Mandalay Region, Myanmar. Human trafficking in Myanmar occurs in the context of large-scale internal and cross-border migration. Most of the young women from Bago Region, Ayeyarwady Region, Magway Region, Mandalay Region, Kayin State and Kachin State were found to be trafficked in new trends such as forced marriage and surrogacy to China due to the influence of many brokers. The objectives of the study are (a) to study human trafficking in Myanmar and (b) to investigate the awareness of human trafficking in Mandalay Region, Myanmar. The study was focused on a public survey on 150 people in the Mandalay Region. The study found that human trafficking is widely practiced because of poverty, lack of jobs and migration. In addition, lack of education leads to less knowledge of how to protect oneself from problems such as debt and forced labor. Most of the respondents have little knowledge and awareness of human trafficking. Therefore, the government should implement the human trafficking awareness program on television and social media networks. The study suggests a definite need to educate people on the dangers of illegal migration, provide them with opportunities to travel abroad legally, and help them look for better job opportunities through bilateral agreements. In addition, there is a need to create job opportunities that can generate decent income for people within Myanmar itself. Therefore, it is necessary to select and implement effective human trafficking prevention process models by the Central Body for Suppression of Trafficking in Persons. In doing this, if the public cooperates in unity, human trafficking in Myanmar can be reduced and controlled. 2023-03-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9154
