This ACWC Discussions and Recommendations on Shelter Practices in ASEAN was developed to discuss opportunities, strategies and lessons learned in eliminating closed shelters and improving the situation of trafficked persons during the provision of shelter. It is informed by a series of national consultation workshops conducted in six Southeast Asian countries - Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam – from December 2021 to March 2022. The workshops were attended by relevant government and non-government practitioners. This paper also draws on the analyses and recommendations provided in a shelter study conducted by the ASEAN-Australia Counter Trafficking (ASEAN-ACT) in 2018.
