Vietnamese woman trafficked to China returns home after 22 years Nguyen Thi Hon, 43, landed in Can Tho City in the Mekong Delta early on Thursday and will return to her hometown in nearby Bac Lieu Province. Her brother Nguyen Van Tang had traveled to Lang Son Province on the China border in the far north to confirm her identity and bring her home.

To call Hoa’s story tragic would be an understatement. A few weeks ago, Hoa, 50, returned to her family in the central province of Nghe An. Her sister’s house in Hoang Mai Town greeted her with welcoming words and visits from concerned and sympathetic neighbors. Hoa used to live in the town, but when her marriage broke after a very short while, she was broke and penniless. She had neither a house nor a job.

Ho Thi Dao, Hoa’s sister, recalled being happy that Hoa was being helped by kind people. It was much later did she find out that her sister had been trafficked to China. The family’s attempts to find her proved futile. Hoa was … [Read more...] about Vietnamese woman enslaved in China returns after 20 years

No encounter with 31-year-old Nguyen Thi Van is uneventful. Most people are awed and enchanted by her unbreakable, can-do spirit. No one can testify to this better than 51-year-old Neil Bowden Laurence - an expert in telecoms, cyber security and cybernetics working for the Australian Government – who gave everything up so that he would not lose her. Struck by the wide grins plastered on Van’s Facebook wall, he commented: “You have a very nice smile;” “You look so beautiful when you smile;” and so on. Neill often carries his wife when they go out or simply go for a walk. Photo courtesy of Neil and Van. Van was not above engaging in a bit of flirting. Busy as she was, as the director of the Vigor of Life Center in Hanoi, which provides vocational education, training for people with disabilities, and owner of a graphic design company, she had time to spend on herself. "I had seven boyfriends before I met Neil...so it was normal for me to playfully … [Read more...] about A weighty love for a Vietnamese woman weighing just 20 kilos
