Rapid Asia was commissioned by the International Labour Organization (ILO) under the Ship to Shore Rights South-East Asia programme, with support from the European Union, to conduct a baseline study in Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Viet Nam. The study provides a comprehensive assessment of migrant workers’ working and living conditions in the fishing and seafood processing sectors, including the prevalence of forced labour.
