VN strictly deals with human trafficking
17/3/19
Viet Nam pays great attention to prevention and control of human trafficking and resolutely deal with the crime, said FM Spokesperson Le Thi Thu Hang on March 14 in reply to the question about thousands of Vietnamese children trafficked to Europe and forced to work and become prostitutes.
Ms. Hang said that Viet Nam regards human trafficking, especially the trafficking of women and children, is a dangerous crime, which seriously violates human rights and badly affects the nation’s socio-economic development.
Viet Nam has actively joined hand with other nations and participate in more multi-lateral forums on prevention and control of human trafficking, she stressed.
*Regarding Chinese Taipei’s re-granting preferential visa for Vietnamese visitors, the Spokesperson said that Viet Nam welcomes Taiwan’s continuance to grant visa for Vietnamese visitors under the “Kuan Hung Pilot Project”, which will make contributions to promoting people-to-people exchanges and tourism.
The “Kuan Hung Pilot Project” is an electronic visa program designed to increase the number of quality tourist groups from the ASEAN member states of Indonesia, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and India.

Vietnam has made significant efforts in raising public awareness on human trafficking, as well as providing support to the victims of trafficking.
Human trafficking exists in every country and every sector of the economy. Every year, millions of migrants are trafficked internally and cross-border to eventually become victims of forced labour.
The country still has a lot to do as there remain gaps between the provincial and district levels in securing human and financial resources, tools to identify and protect trafficked victims, as well as promoting investigations and prosecuting offenders involved in trafficking.
The crime is predicted to become more complicated with increasingly sophisticated tricks and transnational activities by human trafficking criminals in the future.
Localities should integrate the prevention and combat of criminals and human trafficking with the implementation of political tasks and socio-economic development policies, while raising public awareness on obeying the law and improving responsibility in actively preventing and participating in criminal denunciation.
Human trafficking in Việt Nam was on the increase because it was difficult to control.

human trafficking exists in every country and every sector of the economy. Every year, millions of migrants are trafficked internally and cross-border to eventually become victims of forced labour. It is estimated that around 20 million people are victims of forced labour, including victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation.
