Vietnam human trafficking issue

While many people go through their daily lives, there are some people being taken away

from their homes and sold into slave labor. There have been numerous countries where citizens

are traffic others into slavery. For instance, Vietnamese woman and children being trafficked to

People's Republic of China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, the

United Kingdom, and the Czech Republic for prostitution and labor. According to World Human

Right Organization, a third of prostitution in Czech Republic is young Vietnamese. Usually, these

kids will be transported to other countries while they are still young. Imagine how harmful this will

be to these children. Basically, these children are either victims of rape or child labor in factories

while receiving little or no payment. In this environment, children would not be able to have the

opportunity to receive a good education or education at all. In addition, once they get older the pimp

will likely dump them on the street when they can no longer serve as a prostitute. Without food

and with limited amount of education they are unlikely to survive and accepted by society. This is

inhumane for the Vietnamese that are trafficked, and also create a social issue for the countries they

are trafficked to. These people have a limited amount of education and probably barely speak the

local language. For instance, they might end up stealing food for survival or being a drug addicted

in rest of their life. It is our responsibility as human beings to care about this Vietnamese tragedy.
