In the misty ramparts of the highlands a tragedy is taking place. For a sack of rice, young ethnic Thais are breeding; their tiny infants sold to the highest bidder. These children are lost to their families, to their culture and the mother''s weep....
“I wish that all this had not happen in my life...
We are a poor family and needed the money to survive...
This was the only way to buy the seed for our winter rice crop...
I thought that after my daughter had worked for six months in a brothel, I would bring her back to her family in Vietnam.
I was so afraid that she would get ill...
I cried a lot because I pitied her...
One would like to proclaim that Trafficking-Prostitution and the Selling of young children, is no longer a threat in this troubled world. Unfortunately, I am not the bearer of good news and can only hope that our children and grandchildren have learnt by our inability to take appropriate action, and stop the ones who profit by these crimes against humanity.
Within the past decade, human trafficking has reached such epidemic proportions that individual countries are unable to control the insidious tentacles that over-power and control the financial economies of our world. In many third world countries, trafficking has proven to be one of the most profitable forms of illegal activities. How can the authorities police this large-scale, well organised criminal activity which is forcing thousands of innoicent victims into a life of degradation?
This life of slavery is created by the desires of its wealthy clients; the pathetic penalties of punishment if caught and the enormous profits which attract organised criminal gangs, worldwide.
