 1. Background (Background, needs and urgency)
Human trafficking violates international human rights, and it is a crime in the
international criminal laws. Unfortunaly, Vietnam is currently a country of origin,
destination, and transit for human trafficking. Many citizens, primarily women and
girls, are trafficked to the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C), Cambodia, Thailand,
the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Macau for commercial sexual
exploitation and forced labor.
The crime of women trafficking bears substantial negative consequences for
women's welfare because of its damage to women in both physical and mental
health. Human trafficking also poses a threat to public health as uncontrolled
prostitution industry is one of the biggest drivers of dangerous sexually transmitted
diseases (HIV/AIDS, Chlamydia,...). In addition, the crime also negatively affected
families of abducted women, especially relatives looking for family members who are
at risk of becoming victims. The fact that women being swindled and abducted show
a security vulnerability which can lead to a social order upheaval. Low social security
would poses challenges for the image of Vietnam in the international arena as social
security is the face of each country, an external expression reflecting the strength of
the political regime, economic potential, as well as the people's intellectual level and
the level of civilization
Traffickers often target women of working age or young women aged 15-16. As a
consequence, Vietnam would suffer a loss of potential laborers which result in a
stagnation in the development of Vietnam’s economy.
Since 1985, Vietnam has issued regulations in order to control human trafficking
activities, in which the labor trafficking and sex trafficking of women was defined and
prescribed penalties of five to 10 years’ imprisonment and fines of 20 million to 100
million VND (according to Article 150 of the penal code). Furthermore, in 2011, the
Human Trafficking Preventing and Combating Act was issued. The Act provides
many policies and regulations in combating and preventing human trafficking. In
particular, The Vietnamese National Action Program against Trafficking in Women
and Children (the VNAP) was created to enhance an awareness of human trafficking
and provide essential tools in recognising and combating the trafficking of women
and children. During the 5 years of implementation of the Program, 1,586 cases of
human trafficking were detected with 2,888 human traffickers and 4,008 victims.

2
 Despite these efforts, the criminal activity of women trafficking is still going on
complicatedly, the nature of the scale and the criminal tricks are increasingly
sophisticated, cunning and escalating in many forms. As a consequence, women
trafficking, especially in the mountainous areas, has been regarded as a significant
issue on social media due to the dramatic increase in the victims of these crimes.
Moreover, this type of crime has seriously affected political security, social order and
safety, and damages the fine customs and societal morality.
This growth in the number of victims and traffickers shows the limitations and
shortcoming in the existing policies and necessitates a more effective policy on crime
prevention of trafficking in women.

2. Policy problem (Problem tree)

2.1. Identify policy problem
According to a report of the Ministry of Public Security, in 5 years (2012-2017),
there were more than 3,000 victims of trafficking and suspected of being trafficked,
of which 90% of the victims were trafficked to China. The number of victims of
trafficking and suspected of being trafficked is 3,090 people, of which, mainly women
and children (accounting for over 90%). Out of more than 3,000 detected victims of
human trafficking, the number of returned victims is 2,571, of which 1,334 are
returned and rescued, 1,237 are returned on their own. The number of victims who
have not returned is 519. From the beginning of 2016 to June 2019, there have been
nearly 1,100 cases of human trafficking nationwide, with more than 1,400 people
involved and more than 2,600 victims discovered, of which nearly 90% are women
and children.
In 2020, the government announced that they had identified 121 victims of human
trafficking, of which 112 were women and 9 were men; 32 of the victims were
children. This shows a consecutive decrease in the number of identified victims
compared to previous reporting periods (300 victims identified in 2019, 490 victims
identified in 2018 and 670 victims identified in 2017).
Most of the victims' destinations were China, Taiwan, Cambodia, Thailand,
and Singapore. More than 84% of Vietnamese women are trafficked to China for
prostitution, forced labor and forced marriage. Some are even sold for their organs.
Most of the victims of human trafficking are ethnic women, women in poor rural

3
areas, mountainous areas, remote and difficult areas, with difficult economic
circumstances and lack of knowledge. Only about half of these were able to escape
or be rescued. It can be seen that, although the victims were fortunate to return to
their homeland, the sequelae, mental and physical pain are still there. Not to mention
the unfortunate victims, who had to stay forever in foreign countries, were tortured,
brutally tortured or lost their lives.
Women trafficked are often for sex and forced labour purpose which led to
victims being exploited, beaten; suffering lifelong disability, and even death; or being
sexually exploited…; at risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Mentally,
research shows that trafficked victims are more likely to suffer from mental illness
such as anxiety, PTSD, depression,... and face difficulties integrating into life and
community.
Taking advantage of Vietnam's open door policy, the criminals came to
Vietnam to visit relatives, travel, and do economic business to deceive women in the
form of sending them to work abroad, getting married and then selling them abroad.
Therefore, the crime of human trafficking occurs in 63 provinces and cities
nationwide.
The main offenders are professional delinquents with criminal records for human
trafficking (accounting for 22%); foreigners enter Vietnam through brokerage
companies then connect and collude with Vietnamese spies and brokers, leading the
formation of transnational and international human trafficking lines. Some people
who were victims or married foreigners when returning to their hometowns became
perpetrators of seduction and sales of other women and children, including family
members; or take advantage of trading, cross-border business or business services
along the border, familiar with the area to engage in criminal activities.
In the work of communication and prevention education, from 2019 to now, localities
across the country have organized more than 100,000 communication sessions for
over 5 million people, organized more than 1,000 intensive training classes,
maintained operation of nearly 1,100 clubs to provide useful and practical
information, knowledge and skills.
However, the situation of human trafficking crimes is still complicated, there are
many hidden lines and gangs operating in the country, and there are no conditions
for investigation and discovery. In particular, in recent times, advertising activities
have emerged to recruit Vietnamese workers to work in Cambodia, then sell them to
4
online gambling establishments and prostitution. The knowledge and awareness of
the people about the crime of human trafficking is still low, the effectiveness of
coordination between functional sectors in propaganda work is not high, sometimes
it is still formal. In terms of funding for the prevention and combat of human
trafficking in recent years, it has not been allocated, resources to organize activities
are still difficult, mainly coordination and integration activities, thus affecting the
requirements of human trafficking.
2.2. Identify the cause of the policy problem

The following are some of the causes behind the continuation of women trafficked in
Vietnam:
2.2.1. Victims
The first cause comes from the victims themselves. Women frequently become
victims of human trafficking crimes mainly due to three factors that can be mentioned

5
such as low social awareness, difficult financial situation and lack of family
management.
The bad economic situation is one of the reasons women trafficked in Vietnam
are ongoing. Poverty and unemployment lead to financial and employment needs.
The poor are those who are impoverished in terms of their living conditions and
whose income is insufficient to cover their basic necessities. As a result, they readily
believe the traffickers' lies of introducing high-paying jobs, marrying wealthy people,
and having the opportunity to change their life, etc. These women hope it will provide
them with alternatives to assist them overcome their financial problems and live a
better life. As a result, they fall victim to the crime of human trafficking.
Women who are trafficked are mostly from remote, mountainous, and rural areas.
They lack awareness about human trafficking because they lack access to a lot of
information and have a low educational level. Only around half of Vietnamese
women appear to be aware of the dangers of human trafficking, while the rest remain
unaware. They are easily duped, seduced, and lured into traffickers' traps. With
appealing "advertisements" like "high-paying jobs" for jobs overseas or promises of a
prosperous life when marrying a foreign husband, traffickers persuade many women
that this will be an opportunity to help them change their lives and have a better
life.They massively run after "those interests" without realizing the negative sides of
it.
Lack of family management is also a reason why many women become victims of
human trafficking. In many families, some parents are busy with making money,
others are busy pursuing hobbies,and as a result,they don't pay much attention and
care to their children.If young people are not adequately cared for and educated in a
society with many complex problems, they will become playful, demanding, and
become victims of human trafficking. Women are often deceived by the offender's
pretend flirting and love. After a period of going back and forth, gaining trust, they try
to take the victim out or travel, then find a way to broker the sale abroad.
2.2.2. Criminals
The second cause is that the act of the crime of trafficking in women are still
complicated, with increasingly sophisticated and cunning tricks for recruiting
vulnerable and naive women to assist human trafficking activities. Criminals who buy
and sell women form many inter-provincial and transnational networks and gangs,
taking advantage of the family's lax management to approach women who are
6
gullible and lack awareness. Unlike in the past, when criminals had to approach and
get to know victims face-to-face in order to seduce them, more and more criminals
are now using social networking sites and smartphones to approach victims, limiting
direct contact. As a result, the functional forces' prevention, detection, and counter-
prevention faced many difficulties. Through social networking sites such as Zalo,
Facebook, Viber...,criminals approach, pretend to be lovers, convince them to travel,
go to work for high pay, export labor at low cost... to fooling into selling as a wife,
surrogacy, forced prostitution, forced labor...
2.2.3. Security apparatus
The third cause leading to the persistence in the crime of trafficking in
Vietnamese women is the lack of a specialized force to prevent and combat human
trafficking crimes. The police are the core force in preventing and combating human
trafficking,but up to now, most localities and units have not established specialized
forces to prevent and combat human trafficking crimes, most of them are pluralism.
The funds available for this work are restricted and do not meet the requirements.
When a human trafficking case happens, it is primarily for provincial-level police
departments to intergrate with professional teams to carry out prevention and
investigation activities, resulting in overlapping, inadequate implementation, and
limited results.
2.2.4. State management
There are still many limitations in state management related to the continuance of
trafficking in Vietnamese women. The management of exit and entry, and state
management in border areas, especially the road routes, still have loopholes and
shortcomings. Since the thin force could not control the minor roads and trails along
the border, criminals took advantage of the situation by sending women across the
border to sell and organize for others to exit illegally.
Furthermore, due to a lack of regular coordination between sectors, the state
management of marriages involving foreign elements faces numerous difficulties and
challenges. Moreover, the act of "recruiting" women to marry foreigners is
widespread throughout the country, but there has been no appropriate response to
the nature and level of danger to society that the violations have caused. According
to Decree No. 167/2013/ND-CP regulation on sanction of administrative violation in
social security, order and safety, prevention and fighting of social evils fire and
domestic violence, "acts of organizing and creating conditions for other people to
7
marry foreigners contrary to fine customs and traditions or against the provisions of
law, affecting security and order, social safety" is only fined from 2,000,000 VND to
3,000,000 VND. This fine is insufficient to deter violators.
2.2.5. Consequences
Trafficking in women will bring huge consequences to victims, victims' families
and the whole society. Crime of human trafficking is currently a hot issue; directly
infringing upon human life, health, honor and dignity; adversely affect the daily life of
society, customs, social ethics and state laws; broken family’s happiness; At risk of
contracting infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS); are bad factors affecting national
security and social order.

5.2. The explained analysis of the proposed policy options

5.2.1. Effectiveness
The 1st policy package has many positive impacts on the economic
development of the province and a system of socio-political organizations so it is
easy to put into practice. The 2nd policy package is less effective because the force
is in a passive position to catch criminals. As for the 3rd policy package, because it
builds a specialized system, it will have a lasting effect.
5.2.2. Efficiency
The beneficiaries of the 1st policy package are not only women and girls but
also the entire society. The 2nd policy package and the 3rd policy package have
many influencing factors, so it will be more difficult to implement than the 1st policy
package.
5.2.3. Equity
Both solutions ensure fairness since the State will direct, manage while the
local will implement. But the 1st policy package has lower value than the 2nd and
3rd one because it will focus on high- risk areas.

14
 5.2.4. Political feasibility
The 1st policy package closely combines the plan to prevent and combat
trafficking in women with the socio-economic development plan in only at-risk areas,
with the participation of socio-political organizations. and mainly implement
propaganda and persuasion methods. Meanwhile, the 2nd and 3rd policy package
needs more economics, so it has less political support.
5.2.5. Technical feasibility
The 1st policy package mainly focuses on propaganda and persuasion
activities, so it is easier for state administrative agencies to implement. Hence, the
technical feasibility is higher than the 2nd policy package and the 3rd policy
package.
5.2.6. Social acceptability
The 1st policy package directly supports and helps the victims and propagates a
lot through the media, so it is easier for people to accept. Also it brings safety and
development to society, as a result, those will receive high social consensus

7. Policy forecast
7.1. Forecasting policy outcomes
It is expected that when the selected policy is implemented: At least 90% of
women in high risk areas will be disseminated about the policies and laws of the
State such as: Criminal Law; The Marriage Act; The Law on Children and anti-
trafficking law. Moreover, all the trafficked women who return will receive assistance
programmes and credits with money from the Government as soon as possible. With
the effectiveness of international cooperation and the police force, Security and
social order will be tightened, especially in border areas to prevent human trafficking.
Expected to 2030: This policy will reach the following outcomes:
- The number of women being trafficked will drop to less than 10.
- At least 5000 trafficked women returning through handover, rescued, self-
returned receive support services to stabilize their lives, reintegrate into the
community.

23
- 90% of criminals will be arrested.
- 100% of localities will have specialized force to prevent and combat human
trafficking crimes.
7.2. Forecasting policy impact
Women, particularly those in remote, secluded, and ethnic minority areas, will be
more aware of human trafficking and will be learning how to prevent and raise their
attention in combating crime, allowing them to better protect themselves. Women's
human rights and freedoms are guaranteed, and the efficiency of state security and
order management is enhanced, primarily in the fields of border, immigration, and
marriage involving foreign components, etc. Since then, national security and social
order have also been maintained. People will have a better, more stable, and tranquil
life, socio-economic development will be greater, and the economic burden on the
locality in dealing with the consequences of human trafficking will also be minimized.
Furthermore, upon their return to the community, victims will be provided with
vocational training, employment, and cultural studies. As a result, the proportion of
victims who have jobs will rise, contributing to an increase in the total labor force for
the locality in particular and for the country as a whole.

8. Policy decisions
Based on the above 2 parts of analysis, it is undeniable that the first policy
package is the most effective strategy to address the issue of trafficking women.
Compared with other policy package to preventing women trafficking, this
package is a more suitable version in this era. Firstly, the number of women being
tricked online has been increasing due to the unsafe environment on social media.
Hence, a technology-oriented policy would provide better results in preventing
criminals from swindling women for trafficked purposes on the Internet. Secondly,
this policy consists of a package that enhances a specialized system in preventing
the crime of trafficking women. Therefore, the policy is expected to accelerate the
process of counteracting both individual traffickers and rings of traffickers (from
investigation, arrest to prosecution of criminals).

9. Policy disclosure

24
 The agenda for adoption and policy announcement will be to issue a new circular
utilizing the anti-trafficking law as a foundation. Aside from the media, one of the
agenda items for adoption and policy announcement will be via the National
Assembly meeting.
