“Our partners say that for some survivors in contact within the fraud center, even if they can somehow manage to go out, they have no place to put them on. Then, survivors have no money to fly home and have no place to leave, so they are again They return to centers because they have no real alternative options, “Macher says. “Some survivors have injuries such as broken bones from jumping out the window to escape, and now the organizations have no money to put them in hospitals, and without medical care they can become paralyzed.”
More sources say Wired that organizations that relied on financing had to stop or reduce their jobs and release the staff. Macher, who led the work groups with his network members for the last week, says that some survivors from the fraud gets help to return home; However, the shelters that temporarily place them and provide care. “Without a safe and reliable shelter to place them after escaping, some survivors decide to return to their exploitation work within the fraud center, despite knowing the risk,” says Macher.
“There are shelters in neighboring countries such as Cambodia and Mjanmar for people who have just saved, and there are also lines for help and so, who have now lost their funds overnight,” says Michael Brosowski, founder of Blue Dragon, affected by the benefits he has saved more than 1,700 victims of trade in peopleincluding preventing people to prove to brothels associated with internet fraud.
Brosowski says Blue Dragon works to reduce the worst damage caused by freezing funds. “We have tried to elaborate on what we can reduce, how we can reduce ourselves without losing the most widespread work,” Brosowski says. For example, training programs for social workers who help survivors from human trafficking may have to be reduced, Brosowski says.
Even if some financing returns – freezing the state department is currently set on its 90 days – an organization that supports victims may never be the same because employees are forced to get other jobs or move away from the areas where they worked locally with survivors. This loss of expertise will be extremely harmful to help in help, sources say.
“They harmed relations with local partners or authorities with whom they regularly worked to solve these issues,” said two researchers in the global research center who had their work on recommendations on policy on solving the connections for the fraud of the US Government Disordered.
In addition to humanitarian efforts, the financing breaks will probably, even temporarily, allow the criminal organization to further flourish. Some of the funds reduce the impact programs intended for assistance in identifying potential criminals and helping local efforts to implement the law, according to a government official in the international non -governmental organization with several US scholarships.
“Identifying criminal networks, identifying bad actors, sending information to the National Security Council. All it should take is stopped, “add two global Think Tank researchers.
Ultimately, all this means that the victims of trafficking will be trapped by people by working in unimaginable conditions, while more people in the United States -in the world will be at risk of becoming victims in the current fraud that will be exposed from the compounds.
“These deception compounds, they deceive people who are in the US,” says Brosowski of Blue Dragon. “The US government could save hundreds of millions of dollars from reducing such programs, but fraudsters will take billions.”
