Cambodia warns China-bound women

Cambodia warns China-bound women

Cambodia wants its women to think twice about going to China for work or marriage as they risk falling into the clutches of human traffickers, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Wednesday. 

Koy Kuong told Kyodo News his ministry has appealed to "all Cambodian citizens to pay serious caution and not fall for the tricks of brokers who take our Cambodian daughters to work or marry Chinese men in China with the promise of wealth and other things."

So far this year, he said, more than 30 Cambodian women who went to China after being deceived by brokers have been repatriated with the assistance of Cambodia's embassy and consulates there.

Six more trafficking victims, two of them pregnant, were due to return home late Wednesday, the spokesman said.
