Highlights
This report delves into the multifaceted child protection risks faced by children affected by migration between Cambodia and Thailand. Economic pressures and climate-related factors, among other reasons, drive migration, often leading to irregular movements that complicate data collection and weaken child protection support systems. Consequently, many children are vulnerable to exploitation, abuse, discrimination, and have limited access to essential services like education and healthcare. Despite existing legal frameworks, significant implementation gaps persist, particularly affecting children with disabilities and those with irregular status.
