SOUTHEAST ASIAN MIGRATION ROUTE





Migration is the movement of people from one place to another. The most common migration routes in the world are the Eastern Mediterranean route, the Mediterranean Sea route, the Central American route and the Southeast Asian route.
I have chosen the Southeast Asian Rute.

Political upheaval—including Muslim Rohingya refugees who have fled political repression in Myanmar—restrictive migration policies, and a lack of legal frameworks for refugees have made Southeast Asia increasingly dangerous for migrants. Human trafficking, forced labor and other abuses are also rife in the region, according to the UN.
Earlier this year the International Organization for Migration estimated that some 6,000 people fleeing Myanmar and Bangladesh were stranded at sea on overcrowded fishing boats controlled by smugglers in the Andaman Sea and the Strait of Malacca off the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. The IOM also estimates that 94,000 migrants have set off by sea since 2014, including 31,000 this year.
