It is home to the Darién Gap, a roadless, 100-mile-long stretch of rugged mountains, dense jungle, and deep swamps that stand like a wall between Central America and its South American neighbors. It is a lawless, extremely dangerous region, impossible to cross by car and treacherous at best on foot. It remains the missing link in the Pan-American Highway.

At the same time, they are exposed to increased risk from predators and trafficking networks lurking in that same “digital ocean” - searching for their next victim. In Thailand specifically, children are not as likely to report their experiences of online exploitation. In 2022, UNICEF reported that 47% of children surveyed in a study in Thailand said they would not know where to get help if they or a friend were sexually assaulted or harassed.

These devices are easily concealed almost anywhere - inside walls, clothing, furniture, behind electrical outlets, in vehicles, or buried beneath clutter, making them incredibly difficult for investigators to find during searches.
