Ci STO! Campaign Stop Organized Traffic of women between Vietnam and China

Pages in Italian


Ci STO! Campaign is born to say STOP to the organized traffic of women between Vietnam and China.

GTV want to focus on women trafficking, a very social evil of our present time.

What is trafficking?
Human trafficking is an act that implies the recruitment, transport of a person by a constraint or a deception, with the aim to put that person in slavery.

Why trafficking is still a topical subject?
Because
anyone can be involved in it. Trafficking affects men and women as well as boys and girls.
Trafficking perpetuates in modern ways the old slavery.

The aims linked to trafficking are many: forced domestic works, forced marriages, sexual exploitation. The reasons are, first, economic, trafficking has a turnover only second to drugs and arms and it makes a profit between 7 and 10 million dollars every year.

In Vietnam girls and women are victims of sexual trafficking, especially towards China, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan.

In the North of Vietnam, the main trafficking route is toward China. Vietnamese women are especially trafficked for marriages or prostitution. The economic boom, the infrastructure improvement, the unequal development between these two countries has implied a quick growth of women trafficking, allured with untrue promises of a better life in the Chinese zone.

During the 90’s at least 22.000 women and child have been sent to China.

One of the main reasons that stimulates trafficking between these two countries is due to the “China one child policy” that has made, and still makes, a birth disproportion of male in comparison with female births ( 120-130 males every 100 females)

Looking at the Vietnam, GTV finds that women trafficking is one of the most serious problem there and, if the right interventions will lack, the dimension of problem is certainly destined to grow.
For that reason, GTV has several projects in Cao Bang, Hai Duong and Bac Giang regions, to provide support to the trafficked women who have come back in Vietnam and to awaken and prevent trafficking with information activities. Moreover, there will be other projects in the field of social reintegration for trafficked women returned home, giving psychological support and professional training in the textile sector.
