Conversations with Chem – Tackling child and forced marriage in the ASEAN region

In this episode of Conversation with Chem, our ASEAN Program Director Archemides Siguan spoke with H.E. Mrs Soukphaphone PHANIT – Permanent Secretary for Lao Women’s Union, ACWC Chair 2024 and Lao PDR’s ACWC Representative for Women’s Rights.

They discuss the critical issue of child and forced marriage against the backdrop of this year’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons theme ‘Leave no child behind in the fight against trafficking’, and how the implementation of the ASEAN Convention Against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (ACTIP) can address this.
