Human trafficking is a big, big problem in SE Asia. Girls are either sold as “brides” to men abroad — especially China — or as future prostitutes all over the region. Older people, especially men, are trafficked to the Arabian Peninsula as indentured workers. Women end up as domestic workers in Hong Kong and the Arabian Peninsula, and on and on.

Poverty and a lack of education drives families and individuals to extremes, and there are plenty of evil people around to take advantage of their desperation.
