Repatriation of women victims of trafficking under pretext of marriage

Three women, V.K.H, P.C.N, and L.G.H. trafficked to China under pretext of marriage with Chinese men, returned to Cambodia on 23th August and 28th August, 2014.  The repatriation of the three victims occurred after the relatives of the women filed a complaint to ADHOC. After receiving the complaint, ADHOC sent an intervention letter to the Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Recently, ADHOC received information from the Department of Consular Affairs in Kgang Chov province about two more victims, Ch. N and H.S.N who, after ADHOC intervention, will be repatriated to Cambodia on 4th September, 2014.
