​Internal Trafficking
There are reports of labor and sex trafficking of Vietnamese, particularly women and girls, from poor, rural provinces to urban areas, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and newly developed urban zones, such as Binh Duong. While some individuals migrate willingly, they may be subsequently sold into forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.​

Human Trafficking in Vietnam​

​The Situation
Vietnam is a source and, to a lesser extent, a destination country for men, women, and children subjected to sex trafficking and conditions of forced labor.


Vietnamese men, women, and girls are trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Korea, Laos, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica, Russia, and elsewhere in the Middle East.  In both sex trafficking and labor trafficking, debt bondage, confiscation of identity and travel documents, and threats of deportation are commonly utilized to intimidate victims.

The mission of the Human Trafficking Victim's Union is to work toward the elimination of trafficking in persons, especially women and children trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.

If somebody has met Diep once, a young girl of merely 21 years old­­ , they would hardly forget the sadness in her face although it is almost 6 years since she was forced to take a miserable path in her life. She was trafficked.

Human trafficking destroys lives and its effects damage communities. The transport and exploitation of vulnerable men, women and children by predatory organised criminal groups is something that no civilised country should tolerate. We need to do more to stop this horrific crime.
