It includes recordings and transcripts of interviews, a questionnaire, examples of consent forms, an annotated bibliography and a summary of Thai legislation. The problem of trafficking in persons and issues of forced migration in the Asia‑Pacific region are matters of national concern as they involve the security of the nation and the prevention of organised transnational crime.
