A21 THAILAND REPATRIATION PROGRAM
Thailand is a source, transit, and destination country for trafficking of children, women, and men. The A21 SAFE Repatriation Program in Thailand works with minors who have been trafficked to Thailand from neighbouring countries to ensure they are repatriated safely and connected to rehabilitation services back home. Trafficking survivors are supported to access legal support and comprehensive services according to their identified needs and reintegrated back into families and communities that will provide ongoing support.
