Summary
This report is an outcome of the project entitled Support and Assistance for Persons Trafficked and Exploited in the Labour Market [Pomoc a podpora osobám obchdovaným a vykořisťovaným na trhu práce] financially supported by the Czech Ministry’s of Interior Prevention of Human trafficking and Victim Assistance [Prevence obchdování s lidmi a pomoc obětem] granting programme, by the Open Society Institute and the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe. The project was implemented by La Strada Czech Republic from January until December 2008. In its first part the report describes Vietnamese community and the changes it underwent in the course of 2008 connected especially with the influx of new Vietnamese migrants coming to the CR in order to work in factories. Subsequently, the main part of the text analyses interviews conducted with Vietnamese workers. The interviews focused especially on their motivation to leave Vietnam, on services provided by job agencies, on their working and living conditions in the territory of the CR and on their future prospects. A short chapter is also focused on social services available to members of Vietnamese community. Legal Analysis of the Employment by Job Agencies Based on the Results of Interviews with Vietnamese Workers in the Territory of the CR is attached to the report as an annex.
