3,000 women, children allegedly trafficked to Laos, Cambodia

HCM CITY (VNS) — Some 3,000 Vietnamese women and children were suspected to have been trafficked to Laos and Cambodia in 2015, the Tuoi tre (Youth) newspaper reported.

The women were sold into prostitution and children were forced into hard physical labour.

These details were released at a conference held yesterday in HCM City attended by delegates from Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia. The conference was intended to summarise the crackdown of criminal activities along the border among the three countries last year.

Major General Ho Si Tien, head of The Police Department of Criminal Investigation in Social Order (C45) under the Ministry of Public Security, said that human trafficking victims found along the border among three countries accounted for 6 per cent of total cases found in Viet Nam each year.

The victims are mainly from the provinces of Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Dak Nong, apart from Binh Phuoc, Dien Bien, Son La, Thanh Hoa and Ha Tinh, he said.

Not sure if anyone is able to answer that without possible reprisals.

The West has one justified snobbery about this--we do not and do not allow our citizens to be ...

sold.

The penalties are swift and harsh. Not slow and measured by influential figures.
