Tachileik | GivingTuesday
Tachileik is located in Eastern Shan State, Myanmar and borders Thailand, playing a significant role in trafficking young women for forced brides and sexual exploitation. In this time of instability and judicial collapse, trafficking is increasing exponentially as the border areas are more porous, and the rule of law is non-existent in these conflict areas. Eden's drop-in center programs have proven to be highly effective in combating the increasing trend of survival sex and trafficking. In Eden's programs, women and girls are given the opportunity to learn new skills, be treated for PTSD, increase their resilience and empowerment, and find safe employment or start an enterprise.
Eden's new documentary, Shan State, will be released on GivingTuesday (7am CST, 29th Nov), sharing the trafficking trends and realities of modern-day slavery. You will hear first-hand accounts of how Eden’s frontline response impacts the lives of trafficking survivors. This is all possible because of your generosity.
