ASIAN PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS’ ROLES IN COMBATTING TRAFFICKING IN ASEAN COUNTRIES
Abstract: The ASEAN Economic
Community which facilitates free movement of people among ASEAN countries may
cause a more progressive migration. One of the unintended consequences of
migration is human trafficking. This paper suggests that there should be a
collaborative measure taken by public intellectuals of ASEAN countries to
combat human trafficking. Public intellectuals from receiving and sending
countries in ASEAN should share their information, knowledge, roles,
responsibilities, resources, and services. This paper emphasizes that Asian
public intellectuals as the member community in curbing human trafficking in
the ASEAN region should involve government agencies, NGOs and communities.
