Xarumaha khiyaanada internet-ka oo shirqool dadka ka ganacsiga adduunka sii kordhaya

Ururka Caalamiga ah ee Socdaalka (IOM) ayaa ka digay in dadka loo ganacsado iyada oo loo marinayo xarumaha khiyaanada internet-ka uu noqday mid ka mid ah noocyada ugu kobaca degdegga ah ee ka ganacsiga dadka. Dhibanayaal ka kala yimid in ka badan 80 waddan ayaa la marin-habaabiyay howlahaas dambiilaha ah.

Xarumaha khiyaanada iyo dhibanayaasha

Xarumaha khiyaanada ayaa shaqaaleysiin kara ilaa 300,000 oo shaqaale ah koonfur-bari Aasiya, oo ay ku jiraan Myanmar, Cambodia iyo Laos. Kooxahan ayaa adeegsada qorshooyin internet ah si ay u dhacaan dadka da'da weyn ee reer Galbeedka, sida uu qabo IOM.

Dhibanayaasha yimaada xarumahaas waxaa badanaa laga qaadaa baasaboorradooda, waxaana ay la kulmaan xadgudun jireed iyo mid maskaxeed, waxaana laga horjoogsadaa in ay ka baxaan hawlgallada 'si heersare ah loo abaabulay' oo 'aad u faa'iido badan'. Tan waxaa sheegtay Amy Pope.

Hadalkii Agaasimaha Guud ee IOM

Amy Pope, oo ah Agaasimaha Guud ee IOM, ayaa saxafiyiinta kala hadashay Geneva Talaadadii. Iyadu waxay hore u ahaan jirtay xeer-ilaalin yaqaan ah oo dacwadaha ka ganacsiga dadka qaadata. Pope waxay tiri: 'Dadka ku xayiran xarumaha khiyaanada waa dhibanayaal ka ganacsiga loo ganacsaday, oo lagu qasbay in ay dembiyada sameeyaan iyada oo loo adeegsaday rabshad, hanjabaad iyo qasab.'

Pope waxay intaa ku dartay: 'Waa in aan wada shaqaynaa si aan u taageerno badbaadayaasha, aan u joojino ganacsatada dadka, aan u xirnaa daldaloolada ay shabakadaha dambiilayaashu ka faa'iidayaan.' IOM waxay gacan ka geystay in ka badan 3,500 oo badbaaday oo ka kala yimid 33 waddan.

Khasaaraha iyo caqabadaha badbaadayaasha

Xafiiska UN-ka ee Maandooriyaha Daroogada iyo Dambiga ayaa qiyaasay in khasaaraha sanadle ah ee adduunka ee hawlgallada khiyaanada internet-ka uu gaaray inta u dhaxaysa $88bn iyo $114bn sanadkii hore. Tani waxay muujinaysaa baaxadda dhaqaale ee dhibaatadan.

Badbaadayaasha badan ayaa ku soo noqda guri iyagoo si qoto dheer u dhaawacmay maskax ahaan, deyn ku raran, iyo agab yar ka dib bilo ama sano xabsi ah. Intaa waxaa sii dheer, badbaadayaasha waxaa marar badan loo dhaqmaa dambiilayaal halkii loo dhaqmi lahaa dhibanayaal.

IOM reports victims from over 80 countries and billions in annual losses from organised scam compounds

The International Organization for Migration warns that trafficking through online scam centres is among the world's fastest-growing forms of human trafficking. Victims from more than 80 countries have been drawn into these operations, the agency said this week.

Scale of scam centre operations

Scam centres employ as many as 300,000 workers across South-East Asia, including Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, using online schemes to defraud often older people in the West, IOM Director General Amy Pope told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday.

Criminal networks increasingly target educated jobseekers through social media advertisements. They have recruited people with strong English skills and university degrees by presenting fraudulent job offers, according to the agency's findings.

Abuse and global losses

Victims arriving at Asian scam compounds often have passports confiscated and face physical and psychological abuse, prevented from leaving the highly organised and highly profitable operations. UN estimates show annual global losses reached $88bn to $114bn last year.

The IOM has assisted more than 3,500 survivors from 33 countries. Many return traumatised, burdened by debt and with few resources after months or years in captivity, and are often wrongly treated as criminals rather than victims.

Agency response and call to action

Amy Pope, formerly a prosecutor of human trafficking cases, said: 'People trapped in scam compounds are victims of trafficking, forced to commit crimes through violence, threats and coercion.' She urged recognition of their victim status.

Pope added: 'We must work together to support survivors, stop traffickers and close the gaps these criminal networks exploit.' The IOM calls for protection, safe return and reintegration alongside public awareness of traffickers' tactics.
