Human Trafficking In Vietnam

Vietnam has a huge problem with human trafficking, they are the highest ranking country for trafficking. Most of the people who are trafficked are women and children. There are some cases of males, however males are not as likely to be trafficked. Trafficking is not an easy crime to trace, however there are many ways of prevention. Vietnamese men, women, and children are trafficked internationally for many reasons. Some do not know they were tricked into becoming a domestic slave, and they will be forced to live a life in slavery. The people who are trafficked are looking for solutions and a way out, they only way to stop is crime to to find outsiders who are willing to provide protections and find solutions for the problem.

They are emotionally abused because their traffickers tell them their family is not looking for them, or their families do not care. In most cases their family is the one of the main reasons the kids are sent off, the parents believe they are sending their kids to have a better life, somewhere else. In reality, they are sending them to be slaves or sex servants in another country. Children and women face physical abuse when they are forced into domestic servitude. They are becoming slaves for the house they are sent to and they must do whatever their masters tell them, or they will be beaten. Children, both male and female, are sexually abused, “Many victims are misled by fraudulent labor opportunities and sold to brothels...” (Vietnam, 1). Victims are often sent to brothels, sex houses, or are sold to a certain person to be their sex slave. If no one is understanding of what these kids are going through then how are they supposed to help. There needs to be better awareness in order to keep the kids safe and not be exploited like they are
In China, women and children are used for arranged marriages, labor and sexual exploitation. In Cambodia, they are taken for sex workers, and prostitution, “Studies indicate that 15-32% fo sexs workers in Cambodia are of Vietnamese origin” (UNIAP Vietnam, 1). Most of the people who work as sex workers in Cambodia are Vietnamese people who were trafficked. There is a minor difference between the two, sex workers is where they would be a slave in one house and only “work” for the family they are living with. Prostitution is where they would send them out on the streets to find guys, or girls, to pay for the services they offer. The money they make should, in theory, go to them, however the traffickers take the money and keep adding to their debt. When traffickers take their victims internationally, they are taking them mainly sweatshops, sometimes for domestic servitude. Victims often do not know where they are going until they get there, this makes tracking and being able to take the person home
