Seventeen years old two girls faced trafficking
September 16, 2008
WCRP:
Two seventeen year-old girls were recently victims of human trafficking. On June 23rd, said a forty year-old woman from Three Pagoda Pass, on the Thai-Burma border.
The woman saw one of the girls crying on the street corner, and reported that The trafficker sold her to a brothel in TPP, but she escaped. She didnt have any money and didnt know where to go. The girl said that a trafficker brought her and a friend from Thanbyuzayut, and promised them good jobs in Thailand.
The trafficker promised the girls would easily make enough money to pay back the transportation costs, added the woman, they said they were very happy because they believed what he said, and wanted to earn money to send home to their families. Now they are victims of trafficking, the other friend has been sold in Mae Sot and not heard from since. The girls did not know the name of the trafficker, or where he was from. TPP is a border town and the base for traffickers and smugglers. I have seen many victims of trafficking in the past, and it is increasing day by day.
