Full text linkThe study examines the socio-economic conditions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nyaung Shwe Township, Myanmar, following a complex emergency situation that forced many people to flee their homes.

Full text linkHuman trafficking and the exploitation of women and children are serious
human rights violations that continue to affect Myanmar, particularly in urban areas
like Yangon. This thesis aims to (1) study the current situation of human trafficking in
Myanmar and (2) investigate the underlying causes and driving factors behind the
trafficking and exploitation of women and children in Yangon. Using a descriptive
method, primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews with 200 victims,
all of whom were women or children. The findings reveal that poverty, unemployment,
limited education, and low public awareness are key factors contributing to their
vulnerability. The study concludes that prevention efforts should focus on targeted

Full text linkThis study explores the conditions, risks, and consequences of child labor in the
informal sector of North Okkalapa Township, Yangon, Myanmar. It aims to analyze
the working conditions faced by child laborers and assess the impact of child labor on
children’s health, education, and overall well-being. Using both secondary data and a
