The Vietnamese youngster found herself in the grip of coercion, catering to the desires of gambling patrons against her will.State-owned media reported authorities cracking down on an astounding 1,832 human trafficking cases and assisting 8,300 victims from 2012 to 2023.In 2022 alone, authorities identified 255 victims, comprising 102 females, 153 males, and 74 children — an increase from the 126 victims identified in the previous year, which included 114 females, 12 males, and 45 children.
Many, like Dang, were lured with promises of lucrative jobs abroad or the prospect of marrying foreigners, only to be trapped in a web of online scams, slave labor, forced marriages, sexual exploitation, and drug smuggling. She and six Malaysian women were kept in a prison-like room and forced to provide sex services for gamblers daily.
