Slaves in our World Today
For several years, there has been a shortage of girls to many Chinese men due to the one child law. Because of this, Vietnamese girls as young as 13 are being drugged and tricked into leaving Vietnam and being to taken to China to be young brides to Chinese men. They are taken from their families and forced to start families with men they do no know or love. They often times try to escape but have to leave their children behind if they are successful. Sometimes they are able to get away from the Chinese men but can not find their families in Vietnam.
This a such a sad story to me. I can't imagone being taken from my home and sold to an adult Chinese man and forces to marry him and have his children in a strange country. This has to be one fo the worst forms of slavery that I have ever heard of and it is going on today. Something needs to be done about this!
I agree, this is a very scary situation. Being married at 13 is scary enough, but being stolen from your home and being sold to a strange foreign man is legitimately one of the worst things that could possibly happen to someone. I hope that more people from Vietnam become aware of what is happening so there will be more caution.
ReplyDeleteIts so sad but true. I could never imagine being taken away from my home and or family.This makes me more cautious about my surroundings.
ReplyDeleteThese are things that the world should hear about, but many people think its normal. I don't agree with any of this, 13 is a very young age and at 13 you are barely learning about what the adult life is like. To be stolen from your home and taken away at that age is horrible and like you said, something really should be done about this!!
