Thousands of Vietnamese women are kidnapped and taken to the China border to Cambodia and are sold to brothels. The going price a few years ago was $450-$550 for a young girl age 16 or younger. It is estimated that out of 53000 prostitutes 1/3 of them are under 18.
Hundreds of women and children are sold each year to Europe,China,Cambodia and Macau. These poor women are led to believe they are going to a good job in another country. Many are just kidnapped and others thought they are going to be in an arranged marriage. In 2006, one million children were exploited in the global sex trade. The source for these numbers is from the U.S. State Dept.
The Demand for younger victims are worldwide and there is no shortage of buyers. For more information you may contact the Coalition Against Trafficking In Women.
