In 2003, following a three-year pilot phase, and through the work of the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), the ILO launched phase II of a five-year project to prevent trafficking in children and women in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS). The Mekong Sub-Regional Project to Combat Trafficking in Children and Women (TICW) works with, and alongside, other UN Agencies, Save the Children UK, other NGOs, Governments, employers' and workers' groups, to help equip Governments and civil society to deal with migration, the growing threat of human trafficking and resulting exploitative labour. Much of the work is carried out at source -- in villages and rural areas where ill-prepared, uninformed migration begins, and at destination -- the towns and cities where most of the exploitation takes place. From small villages in Cambodia, China's Yunnan Province, Lao PDR and Viet Nam, to major urban centres like Bangkok, Thailand, the project is mobilizing communities. It is working with and through children to improve their quality of life. "
