Thailand
Disaster Overview
Acts of Mercy International is responding to a growing crisis on the Myanmar - Thailand border involving people who have been trafficked into forced criminality, which is most often online scamming. Our AOMI team works in the epicenter of this crisis responding to the immediate needs of these victims of human trafficking on their journey to freedom. AOMI engages in victim rescue and recovery care including providing shelter, food, and basic needs in addition to advocacy and supporting victims as they navigate their return home.
Acts of Mercy Response
In 2024, AOMI focused on victim recovery, meeting essential needs, advocacy, and education. Our team consulted and advised embassies, state department agencies, and 12 ambassadors to collaborate on the recovery of trafficked civilians. Through four dedicated prayer trips, we mobilized more than 1,000 intercessors to pray for victim recovery in Southeast Asia.
In February 2024, 260 victims of human trafficking for forced labor were rescued along the Myanmar-Thailand border. These men and women—hailing from 18 countries, including Ethiopia, Brazil, the Philippines, China, Uganda, Kenya, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Ghana, Burundi, Nigeria, Cambodia, Laos, Taiwan, and Nepal—were held in scam compounds in Myanmar for months or even years. We are actively providing emergency support alongside the Thai government, ensuring rescued victims receive food, transportation, and advocacy as they begin their journey toward healing. Your prayers, generosity, and willingness to take action play a vital role in restoring lives and bringing hope to those who have suffered.
