The situation:
In Viet Nam most trafficked victims are impoverished
women and children. Most have received only limited
education. They face few opportunities for employment
and have very little access to information which would
help them recognize the subtle tricks used by domestic
traffickers who bring women and children from rural
and remote areas into cities and industrialized areas.
In the north of the country, traffickers move women
and children across the border to China while Cambodia
serves as the main cross-border destination in the
south. The Government is also concerned that young
Vietnamese women are being exploited by unscrupulous
marriage brokers who traffic them abroad under the
guise of finding a foreign husband.
