Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2024

Malaysia MY

More than 108,000 Rohingya refugees in Malaysia cannot legally work, which leaves them vulnerable to exploitation, and refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless people are exploited in forced labor. Traffickers also recruit young women and girls, recently including from Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda, with offers of legal work in restaurants, hotels and salons, then exploit them in sex trafficking.
