SYDNEY - Kanya thought she was starting a new life in Australia after arriving from India to marry her husband, but it quickly turned into a nightmare.
She was barred from going out on her own, forced to cook and clean for her partner's family, and made to sleep outdoors if she did not complete her tasks.
The fate of the 18-year-old, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, mirrors that of others in "slave-like" relationships that Salvation Army worker Jenny Stanger has taken in at a Sydney refuge for trafficked people in recent years. Immigration figures show women in such situations come from Thailand, China, India, the Philippines and Vietnam among others.

Source: BBC News
Last year, three teenage boys jumped out of a third-floor window in Ho Chi Minh City and ran as fast as they could until they found help. It was one in the morning and they did not know where they were going.
"I was really scared someone would catch us," recalled Hieu, 18.
Hieu, who did not want to give his real name, is from the Khmu ethnic minority. He grew up in a small village in Dien Bien, a mountainous area in north-western Vietnam, one of the country's poorest provinces and bordering China.

Vietnam Trafficking Activist | June 20, 2014 | Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly | PBS

'Vietnam’s modernized cities create an appeal for the newly educated and workers from rural areas. Across the border in China, a shortage of young brides has led to a system of deceiving Vietnamese into forced labor and marriages. “Whenever you have migration, which is a positive driver and a positive force,” says Florian Forster of the United Nations Organization for Migration, “then you have also the exploitation and abuse coming with it. And that leads to trafficking.” The California-based Pacific Links Foundation offers safe haven for young women who escape human traffickers on the Vietnam-China border . “The girls that we see, they are given a choice,” says the foundation’s co-founder and board president Diep Vuong, “Do you want to marry somebody or do you want work in the brothels?”
