In March 2026, 79 Indonesian women and men returned home after being freed from forced online scamming operations in Myanmar through a cross‑border collaboration supported by IJM and the governments of Indonesia, Thailand, and Myanmar.
Trafficked with false promises of legitimate work, survivors were coerced into conducting online scams under threats, intimidation, and exploitative conditions. Now safe, they are receiving trauma‑informed care, legal assistance, and long‑term support to rebuild their lives.
All 79 individuals have expressed their willingness to provide testimony to law enforcement. IJM teams and our local partners remain committed to walking alongside them and providing the support needed until justice is served.
📌Your support makes it possible for IJM to continue standing with survivors of exploitation. Please support our -- Every dollar you give until 31 March will be matched dollar‑for‑dollar, up to HK$100,000.
