The European Union and United Nations have decided to reschedule the launch of an anti-human trafficking program in Cambodia after concerns were raised about the choice of venue. The program, named 'PROTECT,' aims to combat violence against women and children, human trafficking, and migrant smuggling.
The launch event was initially planned to take place at the Phnom Penh Hotel, which is owned by a Cambodian tycoon with ties to the government. While the tycoon himself has not faced human trafficking charges, a casino owned by his business has been raided multiple times, leading to the rescue of individuals forced to work in illicit activities.
