Document Summary
Othering is unfortunately deeply routed within the thai fishing industry, as only rohingya migrants are forced to pay ransoms to traffickers, as well as forcibly sold to work as slaves in detrimental conditions. The migrants are forced to sleep and work in extremely overcrowded, unsafe areas, and are beaten for any objection. Othering is a huge part of this industry, as the rohingya migrants are given absolutely no other choice. Authorities lied to the migrants, saying they were in fact helping them by giving them work and keeping them out of jail. However, thai authorities successfully created an alienated" depiction of. Rohingya migrants as they were "only useful as slaves" to those in charge. The extent of othering and exploitation that has been forced upon rohingya migrants has indeed advanced the thai fishing industry, although at the cost of thousands of. Rohingya"s lives: how is the global economy part of the story of human trafficking? within thailand.
