human trafficker confiscating passport
Trafficking of Ugandan women to Asia for forced sex is on the rise according to the International Organization for Migration.
The IOM says there may be as many as 600 trafficked Ugandan women currently in Malaysia and up to 20 more may be arriving each week.
Other Asian countries are also on the receiving end of these traffickers.
The IOM's Jean Philippe Chauzy says the agency is working with the various governments, as well as other organizations to not only help these women, but put a stop to trafficking.
