The Global Slavery Index 2016

Walk Free Foundation

This year’s report on Global Slavery makes reference to orphanage tourism in the context of Cambodia. The chapter on Cambodia begins on page 100 and highlights the exploitative nature of forced begging and orphanage tourism. These sections feature research from Friends International and UNICEF on the number of Cambodian children forced to beg in Cambodia and the surrounding region, the dramatic increase in the number of “orphanages” between 2005 and 2010, and the exploitation of children in the use of orphanages as tourist attractions, among other issues.
