Trafficking
Today Onn brought her friend "Behn" by again. Behn is 22, not so pretty but like every northeast Thai woman is necessarily cute. I first met her 10 days ago when she came by, saying she had just come from getting a passport photo and would be going to England with her aunt. Onn another friend later told me that indeed it was not a legitimate trip--the passport Behn was getting would be fake, and she would be going on a tourist visa with the full intention of staying on illegally in Britain and working as a prostitute.
Onn was able to get the name Behn was using, so I sent it to British friends who said they had contacts in the embassy.
Today Behn reported that her visa was not approved but that on Friday she will be leaving for Japan, claiming that the same aunt was now taking her there to work as a nanny. Uh oh. According to material I've read, most likely her traffickers will take away her passport and she'll be assigned to work in a mafia-owned brothel. About once a month she'll be moved to a new location. She won't be able to leave.
I tried to warn Behn about the danger, but she wasn't interested. She did let me pray for her.
