Representatives of Blue Dragon's Children Foundation, Nghe An Police Department transferred trafficked woman back home

The 33-year-old woman is from a mountainous commune in Tan Ky District, Nghe An Province. Due to difficulties, she dropped out of school at 14 years old and went to Dien Chau District to find jobs. In Dien Chau, she became an acquaintance with a woman named Thuy. Thuy then persuaded her to go to China with a promise of an easy job with a high salary.

However, she was sold to be the wife of a Chinese man at the price of nearly USD3,000.

She has had four children in the following years. She said the life in China was harsh and she never stopped hoping to return home.

In early September, a Vietnamese man came to China for work and knew about her situation. After returning, he posted the story on the internet. As the story spread, her brother recognised her from the photos. Her story was also brought to Blue Dragon's Children Foundation.

The foundation then collaborated with the police in Nghe An Province and Tan Ky District to verify the information.

On October 11, the woman was rescued successfully. She and her youngest son were quarantined for 14 days per regulations and transferred to her family on October 28.
