Tay Ninh (VNA) –Sharing a 240km border with Cambodia, the southern province of Tay Ninh isconsidered a hotspot for transnational crime, including the trafficking ofwomen and children.
Major Le Van Dam from the Tay Ninh Border Guard saidthe Moc Bai international border gate nears Cambodia’s bustling Bavet city withten casinos and nemrous restaurants, hotels, and cafes.
The flow of international tourists through theborder gate is very crowded and hence difficult to control, he added.
Since 2012, the gate has handled three humantrafficking cases involving seven victims, found through the cooperation of internationalmigration organisations, as well as Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior, Ministryof Labour, and Ministry of Youth.
The victims were from southern An Giang, KienGiang, and Dong Thap provinces, and Can Tho city. They were sold intoprostitution in Cambodia, according to Dam.
Most recently in April, police from Tay Ninh andHo Chi Minh City busted a 44-year-old woman residing in Tay Ninh’s Go Daudistrict for making procedures at Tan Son Nhat international airport to bringsix Cambodian women to Hanoi, with plans that they would be smuggled over theborder into China.
The local police have cracked down on a numberof human trafficking cases with hundreds of women rescued, according to MajorVo Tan Dung from Tay Ninh police.
However, the ways and tricks of humantraffickers have become more sophisticated, professional, and discreet, hesaid, adding that women from poor rural areas are more vulnerable as victims.
