The Khmer who live in northwestern Cambodia want to cross the border with Thailand, to improve their economic and social conditions. The most immediate way is the irregular migration. The protagonists are involved in the activities run by GVC in Cambodia, co-financed by EU and other donors, to contrast the human trafficking, and to promote the topic of migration as an empowering opportunity.
