Vietnamese woman jailed five years for trafficking daughter-in-law to China
A court in the central province of Nghe An on Wednesday sentenced Vi Thi Que, 54, to five years in jail for trafficking her 23-year-old daughter-in-law, Vi Thi Thao*, to China as a bride for another man. Que’s relatives, Vi Van Tuong and Vi Thi Tuyet, were given jail terms of five and six years respectively for the similar charge. According to the indictment, Tuyet and Tuong asked Que to find a young girl to sell to China as bride in October 2016. Knowing that her daughter-in-law needed money to look after her family, Que offered to take her to China via the border near Quang Ninh Province to find a well paid job. However, Thao was tricked and sold to China to be a Chinese farmer’s wife for VND300 million ($12,878). Que received a commission of VND80 million from this service. More than a year after she was trafficked, Thao battled her way back home with the assistance of a Ho Chi Minh City-based lawyer and Blue Dragon, an NGO working for street children and trafficking … [Read more...] about Vietnamese woman jailed five years for trafficking daughter-in-law to China
Tay Ninh drives back human trafficking
Tay Ninh (VNA) – Sharing a 240km border with Cambodia, the southern province of Tay Ninh is considered a hotspot for transnational crime, including the trafficking of women and children. Major Le Van Dam from the Tay Ninh Border Guard said the Moc Bai international border gate nears Cambodia’s bustling Bavet city with ten casinos and nemrous restaurants, hotels, and cafes. The flow of international tourists through the border gate is very crowded and hence difficult to control, he added. Since 2012, the gate has handled three human trafficking cases involving seven victims, found through the cooperation of international migration organisations, as well as Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Labour, and Ministry of Youth. The victims were from southern An Giang, Kien Giang, and Dong Thap provinces, and Can Tho city. They were sold into prostitution in Cambodia, according to Dam. Most recently in April, police from Tay Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City … [Read more...] about Tay Ninh drives back human trafficking
Lessons to be learned in Vietnam from Thailand’s sex industry
“Call me Ryn, I like that name!” a transgender woman told me with a hoarse voice and a shy smile, preferring the female name than her given one. Ryn works at a bar in Soi Nana, one of many glittering alleys along Sukhumvit which often sit on top of the must-visit places in Bangkok. At these red light districts, sex workers, male or female, provide all kinds of services, from a fun date to arousing massages. The alleys stand right next to a shopping center crowded with Muslims. A man having fun all night at Soi Cowboy can take a short walk to the mall and buy beautiful hijabs for his wife or lover back home. It’s hard to work out if prostitution is legal in Thailand. The country has at least three laws defining the acts of selling one’s body and enticing sexual desires for money as illegal. In 2003, the Ministry of Justice planned to legalize prostitution to collect taxes and try to control STDs, but eventually it could not rule over traditional ethical values. … [Read more...] about Lessons to be learned in Vietnam from Thailand’s sex industry
