Human trafficking in Vietnam: Parents rescued children As many other developing countries in the world, Vietnam is demonstrating efforts to combat human trafficking. A lot of women and children are kidnapped or cheated and then trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation. Many are rescued by the gorvement to come back their daily lives. Some are rescued by tireless efforts of their families. However, no less than these luckily rescued are the ones being sex labors in distant places. If you pay much attention to this issue, you can know some cases that parents look for their trafficked daughters restlessly thourgh newspapers, televisions or oral storytelling. It took them 5 years, 10 years and even longer to find out their small daughers. Most of these parents are poor farmers living in rural areas with little knowledge or facilites. Thus, their rescue stories are unimaginable and extraodinary. Of course, such a small number are lucky enough to enjoy happiness to reunite with their girls. I remembered one story told by my mother about a trafficked girl and her father’s rescue. For me, it’s unbelievable story when that girl lives in city center but deceived by traffickers. Because most of trafficked girls live in rural and poor areas. When that girl was brought away, her father tried to follow the trace and found her at a place 200 km far from her house. She’s a lucky girl when her father found out her just before the traffickers were going to sell her to China. Her father, a smart and brave man, even assigned the female trafficker to the ward police department.. However, one policeman rided this woman after receiving money from her. Such a despicable policeman! However, once again, the father found out this woman and assigned directly to city police. The human trafficking is getting complex and insidious. It’s vital that nations, organizations and each persons cooperate to combat the traffickers around the world.
