Bride With Price Tag
The story of a human-trafficking survivor who was lured into marriage and ended up being enslaved. The victim has since returned to her home in Cambodia. She is currently being supported by the USAID-funded Cambodia Counter Trafficking in Persons program (CTIP), which is implemented by Winrock International. Not alone, there are many others like her who are suffering.
Since January 2014, approximately 30 women have returned to Cambodia, fleeing abusive marriages in another country. The stories told by victims are shocking. Some have been sold like slaves, while others have endured physical and sexual abuse – their passports and identification taken away. They were forced to work without pay and were sometimes kept like prisoners.
