My view in #Sapa from the home of one of our trafficking survivors. She's part of the #Hmong ethnic minority tribe & was a top student in her class b4 she was tricked by a friend into going to a get-together. Instead, she's brought into China where a Chinese family bought her as a bride to their son. 2 yrs married, she was forced to get pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl. During her time in China she became fluent in Chinese as she did not speak #Viet to anyone else. However, our survivor never stopped believing that she would return home to #Vietnam someday. One day, survivor's "husband" had worked throughout the night, and was very tired so he fell into a deep sleep during the daytime. She finally had a chance to escape!! The only problem: her mother-in-law still had her daughter in her care, (who was just five months old.) Our survivor was faced with a very difficult situation and in a split second, she decided to make a run for it. She jumped out of the window and escaped, leaving her daughter behind. Can u imagine having to make that decision?? She managed to make her way to the police in China, who then took her to the Vietnamese border. Now she lives in a #PacificLinksFoundation shelter for trafficking survivors. She's back in school at age 19, and is working very hard to regain her academic standing. Her dream is to become a doctor!! Fam, she is the sweetest young woman. When I speak with her, she recognizes she has been through an unimaginable traumatic time, but is focused on not letting it hold her back from life. She holds no ill will towards the man she was married off to in China. She thinks about the daughter she left behind, but there's nothing she can do about it now. She's chosen to focus on her future. (Update: while I was visiting our survivor, she found out her "husband" sold her daughter off to get remarried and have a son. She spent the weekend weeping.) At the end of the day, these young women have gone through horrible tragedies that the rest of us could only imagine. However, theyre determined to not allow themselves to be defined as trafficking victims. #humantrafficking #antihumantrafficking #moderndayslavery #jeannieinVietnam
