“Our partners say that for some survivors they contact among the scam centers, even if they somehow manage to go out, they then have no place to put them. Later, the survivors have no money for flight home and no place to go, so they recruits themselves into the centers, because they have no real alternative options, “Macher says. “Some survivors have injuries as broken bones of jumping through the window to escape, and now the organizations have no money to put them into the hospitals, and without medical care, the survivors could paralyze.”
Numerous sources say that organizations that have trusted funding had to stop or reduce work and leave employees. Macher, who has managed working groups with members of her network last week, says some SCAM survivors compositions get help to return home; However, shelters, which temporarily host them and give care, have been hit. “Without a safe and reliable shelter to host them after their escape, some survivors choose to return to their exploitation work in the scam centers despite knowing the risks,” Macher says.
“There are refugee camps in neighboring countries such as Cambodia and Myanmar for people who have just been saved, and there are helplines and so on, who have now lost all their funding at night,” says Michael Brosowski, the founder of Blue Dragon, hit have saved more than 1,700 traffic victimsIncluding people from being hit into brothels connected to online scam.
Brosowski says Blue Dragon worked to reduce the worst of the damage caused by the financial freezers. “We shook to work on what we can cut as we can scale back, without losing the most direct work,” BROSOWSKI says. For example, training programs for social workers who help survivors from smuggling may have to be cut, Brusowski says.
Even if any funding returns – the frost of the State Department is held for 90 days – organizations supporting victims may never be the same as employees are forced to obtain other jobs or move away from the areas where they have worked locally survivors. This loss of expertise will be extremely harmful to the relief efforts, sources say.
“They have damaged relationships with local partners or authorities with whom they used to work regularly to deal with these issues,” says two researchers at a global thinking factory, who had their work on political recommendations on handling SCAM compositions to the US government. .
In addition to humanitarian efforts, the financial breaks are likely to allow, even temporarily, criminal organizations will continue to flourish. Some of the financial cutting effective programs designed to help identify potential criminals and assist local legal efforts, according to one government official at International NGO with numerous US subsidies.
“Identify criminal networks, identify the bad actors, sending the information to the National Security Council. Everything that must happen is stopped,” add the two researchers on a global thought factory.
Ultimately, all this means that traffic victims will be trapped working in unimaginable conditions while more people in the United States and around the world will risk becoming victims in the ongoing fraud run by the compositions.
“These scam compositions, they cheat on people who are in the United States,” BROSOWSKI, from a blue dragon, says. “The US government may save hundreds of millions of dollars from cutting these types of programs, but the scammers will immediately take billions.”
