Human Trafficking: How This Criminal Network Became a World Organization Modern day slavery is prevailing in our advanced, post-savage societies all throughout the world. It never looks the same, from domestic servitude, forced labor, child labor, bonded labor and even sex trafficking, it is still a very prominent form of income for many people, a source of terror for others, all the while becoming the norm in these societies.

Vietnam’s GNI is only 3,250, putting them in the LDC category. While Vietnam is the source for Human trafficking in the destination of China, that doesn’t always mean they are the only source for China. Typically, the thought process would be that a country that fits into the LDC category would be more susceptible for the corrupt network of human trafficking, it isn’t as easy to think of a country considered one of the wealthiest and fits into the MDC category to be a country receiving and utilizing these victims. This is an informal trade, since obviously it isn’t legal, but somehow the traffickers are getting around the laws and regulations in place by both countries that are there specifically to protect human rights. These traffickers smuggle the victims into China, as said previously by boat, car, or even motorbikes.

Men begun seeking outside their country for marriages for different reasons. One obvious reason is there is a larger pool of women when they begin considering other countries, such as Vietnam. Many men in China get so desperate to find a wife that as they get older, and that fear of never wedding gets more predominate, they become more accepting of the idea of purchasing a woman through mail-order brides. Mail-order brides are women either kidnapped or sold off by their family for the sole purpose of being purchased by a man for marriage. Another reason Chinese men seek wives from other countries is because of the traditions in place in their culture at home. Men are expected to pay for the elaborate wedding, and even purchase the new home, and at times even pay a lump some to the bride’s families. This causes the seeking of cheaper wives, and a wider selection of them, causing the idea of human trafficking to be okay and the norm in China and other countries that are under the same standards.
