Seventeen-year-old Tran Mai Hoa talks during an interview in the Vietnamese city of Ha Long. Every year, thousands of young women and girls across Asia are abducted or tricked into going abroad, where they are kept against their will and forced into sexual slavery -- obliged to work as prostitutes to pay back the gangs that bought them from human traffickers. Tran Mai Hoa considers herself lucky because just months after being unwittingly smuggled into China and incarcerated in a brothel, she escaped.
